Matte Super Heavy Gel Medium is a heavy-bodied medium with considerable density and extraordinary viscosity. It dries to a translucent, glossy finish. The heavy gel increases body density and viscosity, achieving a consistency similar to oil paint with visible brush or palette knife marks. Extending paint while enhancing brilliance and transparency allows the paint to remain workable longer than other gel mediums. Use it as an extender, ground, or binder for powdered pigments to create an affordable "student-grade" extra-heavy viscosity thick matte paint.

• Extremely thick, extra Heavy Body
• It is heavy-bodied and 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, apply adequate pressure to force the gel into the raw canvas to ensure proper bonding. After the gel is dry, apply paint over it.

Application as a Collage:

• Excellent adhesion for collage and decoupage.

Applications with Aggregates:

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