Liquitex Matte Gel is a thick gel that imparts a translucent matte sheen when dry. Reduces surface shine, increases color depth and transparency Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability Increases viscosity of soft body paints, giving a thicker consistency Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks Acts as a heavy-duty collaging adhesive Primes rough exterior walls for gesso application before mural painting Maintains durability and archival quality   How to use   Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products. Mix with Gloss Gel to create a custom satin gel. Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results. Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the more transparent your color will become. Mix into Heavy Body Acrylic to extend volume and maintain viscosity. This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry - when used very thickly it may dry semi-opaque. Apply with a brush as a collaging glue and fixative-Do not vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry. Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media. Use with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic and Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic colours.
