Ultra matte gel medium Liquitex

Liquitex Ultra Matte Gel turns paint into a full matte finish with absolutely no sheen. It extends your paints by up to double the volume without affecting acrylic stability, viscosity or color position – ideal when running out of a color mid painting. Increases viscosity of fluid paints, giving them a thicker consistency. Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks. Liquitex Ultra Matte Gel can also act as a heavy-duty collaging adhesive while maintaining durability and archival quality. Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products.
Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water – distilled water will give best results. Best used with opaque colors. Mix up to 50% into acrylic color to keep color and opacity the same. Adding over 50% medium may lighten your paints. Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media.
