GOLDEN Soft Gel Semi-Gloss Acrylic Gel, Semi-Gloss
GOLDEN Soft Gel Semi-Gloss is a professional acrylic gel with a slightly fluid consistency, thinner than Heavy Body paints, that holds only lower textures. It is intended for artists working with acrylics and serves as a colorless paint to increase paint volume, control transparency, and adjust gloss without compromising the quality of the binder. Once dry, it forms a flexible, water-resistant, UV-stable film of archival quality.

Uses and techniques
Apply the gel with a brush or palette knife, or mix it directly into paints on a palette. It is suitable for canvas, wood, paper, and other rigid surfaces. Avoid nonporous materials such as smooth glass, metal, and plastic, which acrylic does not adhere to reliably. Since it contains matting particles, it may become slightly cloudy in thicker layers.
