Slow-Drying Acrylic Gel for Blending and Extended Working Time
Liquitex Professional Slow-Dri Gel is a versatile acrylic medium designed to extend the open time of your paint, allowing for up to 40% longer working time. This is ideal for techniques that require gradual blending, subtle transitions, or softened edges. The gel also increases the viscosity of soft body paints, transforming them into a thicker, more workable texture suited for impasto or textural effects. Its slow-drying properties make it especially valuable in dry or hot studio conditions where paint typically dries too quickly.
As a true medium—not an additive—Slow-Dri Gel integrates seamlessly with any amount of acrylic paint without compromising stability. In addition to extending drying time, it enhances surface gloss and boosts color depth and transparency. Artists can use this gel to improve flow, build body, and create smooth blends with greater control. Whether you're working on detailed illustrations or atmospheric washes, Slow-Dri Gel gives you the flexibility and time to refine your technique with precision.
