Maimeri Acrylic Paint Retarder 75 ml
Maimeri Acrylic Retarder 75 ml is an opalescent gel designed to extend the drying time of acrylic paints. It gives artists more time to work wet-on-wet, create smooth color transitions, and achieve delicate sfumato effects. It is suitable for anyone working with water-based acrylics and does not change the paint’s shade or gloss after drying.

Use and application
Mix the retarder directly into the paint on a palette at 10–15% of its volume, or apply it in a thin layer to the surface before painting. It slows water evaporation and gives you more time to mix paints. Do not exceed a 15% dose to avoid a sticky surface or an unstable layer.
Frequently asked questions
Does the retarder change the paint’s final shade or gloss? No, it does not change the shade or gloss after drying.
What happens if I use more than 15% retarder? Using more than 15% may cause a sticky surface or an unstable paint film.
