Golden Artist Colors Gloss Glazing Liquid 237 ml

Gloss glazing liquid. Slow drying extender for acrylic color. GOLDEN Glazing Liquid is a slow-drying acrylic medium originally designed for interior decorative finishes. Because it is made with 100% pure acrylic water-based polymer emulsions, it can have many uses for fine artists. Glazing Liquid can be blended with housepaints and artist acrylic paints to create an incredible variety of color glazes.

This product can be mixed with any waterborne paint color to achieve the desired glaze. It has an open time of 30 to 45 minutes, depending on environmental conditions, and dries with excellent film clarity. Glazing Liquid offers a safe alternative to solvent-based paint systems without forfeiting the working time that is required for creating intricate patterns.

Glazing Liquid can be blended with paints in any desired amount. Adding small amounts (approx. 25%) to paints will increase brushability. Adding 1 part paint to 10 parts Glazing Liquid produces transparent glazes with excellent open times.

Glazing Liquid also proves useful in fine art glazing applications, such as mural and easel painting. Use this product in the same manner as an oil painter uses linseed oil and turpentine.

It is imperative that this product be used for thin layer applications. Thick layers of the Glazing Liquid, in excess of 1,59 mm will not dry properly, remaining tacky for extended periods of time.

The product is milky white when wet, but dries with very good film clarity. In the wet state, colors will appear weaker and lighter. When mixing glazes, test the color strength by applying on paper to find out how opaque or transparent a mixture will appear when dry.

Glazing Liquid can be used for a wide variety of techniques, which require longer open times, including:

• Glazing
• Wood Graining
• Marbling
• Trompe L'Oeil
• Additive and Subtractive Techniques
• Fine Art Applications
• Slow drying color glazes.
• Thinning medium for better brushability
• Pre-glazing before paint application
• Smoother wet-in-wet blending

Minimum film formation temperature is 9°C. Avoid freezing. Do not mix with oils. Paint on any non-oily surface. Abrade nonabsorbent surfaces (metals, glass, plastics, oil-based paints, etc.) for increased adhesion.

Clean tools with soap and water. Keep tools wet while working.
