GOLDEN Soft Gel Gloss Gloss Acrylic Gel
GOLDEN Soft Gel Gloss is a professional acrylic gel with a slightly fluid consistency, thinner than Heavy Body acrylics, which holds only lower textures. It is intended for artists working on canvas, wood, paper, and other rigid surfaces to extend paint, adjust gloss, and control transparency. Made with 100% acrylic binders, it works as a colorless paint and dries to a clear, flexible, water-resistant film with archival quality and UV resistance.
