Matte Super Heavy Gel Medium has a heavy-bodied medium of great density and extra high viscosity; Heavy Gel dries to a translucent gloss finish. It increases body, density and viscosity, attaining the consistency of oil paint with brush or palette knife marks. Extending paint while increasing brilliance and transparency keeps paint workable longer than other gel mediums.

Use it as an extender, a ground, or a binder for powdered pigments to make an inexpensive "student grade" extra-heavy viscosity thick matte paint.

• Extremely thick, extra Heavy Body
• Heavy bodied, very dense, with high surface drag for a stiff "oil-like" feel.
• Dries to a translucent matte finish depending on the thickness of the application
• Minimal shrinkage during drying time
• Excellent adhesion for collage and mixed media
• Extends paint
• Keeps paint working longer than other gel mediums
• Flexible, non-yellowing and water-resistant when dry
• Lightweight, non-toxic
• Intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colours and Mediums
• Conforms to ASTM D4236; Safe for educational use

Application as a Ground:

When creating a sculptural ground, use adequate pressure to force the gel into the raw canvas to ensure proper bonding. Apply paint over the gel after the gel is dry.

Application as a Collage:

• Excellent adhesion for collage and decoupage.

Applications with Aggregates:

• Be careful not to include too many foreign materials to jeopardize the strength of the acrylic paint film. Be sure they are compatible with acrylic emulsion.
