Water-Based Additive for Thinning and Extending Workability of Acrylics
This specialized water-based additive is designed to thin slow-drying acrylic paints and mediums without affecting their extended open time. It reduces viscosity and helps maintain a smooth, workable consistency on the palette, making it easier to blend and manipulate colors over longer periods. Unlike traditional thinners, it contains no binders and does not form a film, making it ideal for use as a supporting additive rather than a standalone product.
In addition to thinning slow-drying acrylics, it can also function as a mild retarder when added in small amounts to fast-drying acrylics like heavy body or fluid formulas, giving artists more flexibility and control over drying time.
Key Features:
- Thins slow-drying acrylic paints without accelerating drying time
- Maintains workability and consistency on the palette
- Can act as a thin-bodied retarder for other acrylic paint lines
- Contains no binders and does not form a film
- Designed to be used in combination with acrylic paints or mediums
Perfect For:
- Artists working with slow-drying acrylics who need extended palette time
- Adjusting paint flow without compromising drying properties
- Blending and manipulating paints in longer sessions
- Using as a retarder for heavy body or fluid acrylics
- Supporting fine detail work, glazing, and soft transitions
- Not intended for use as a standalone medium
