Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium vs Liquitex Gloss Pouring Medium

These are not substitutes. Gloss Gel Medium is a thick, brushable gel for extending heavy body paint, building texture and gluing collage. Gloss Pouring Medium is a thin, self-leveling liquid for smooth, craze-free pours with a wet-look finish. Buy the gel if you paint with a brush and want to keep brush marks and body. Buy the pouring medium if you pour, drip or want flat, glassy films. Owners of both praise the gloss and the reliability; the gel is the more versatile studio staple, the pouring medium the more specialized tool.

• Choose the Gloss Gel Medium if you work with a brush, want to extend heavy body color without thinning it, build texture, or need a clear collage adhesive.
• Choose the Gloss Pouring Medium if you pour, drip or flood large surfaces and want a smooth, self-leveling, craze-free film that stays flexible.
