Is the gallon worth it over smaller tubes?

If you use medium in most sessions, yes. The gallon at $81.39 brings the cost per ounce well below small tubes, and the gel keeps for years in a sealed container.

How is this different from Liquitex fluid medium?

The gel is thicker and holds peaks and brush marks. Fluid medium mixes more easily into thin washes and levels out.

Can I use it as glue?

Yes. Liquitex lists it as a collaging adhesive. Apply a thin layer, press the paper or fabric down, and let it dry clear.

Does it change the color of my paint?

It is gloss and transparent, so it deepens and brightens color rather than lightening it. Heavy body paint takes on an oil-like brilliance.

How much should I mix in?

Start with a small amount, about one part medium to two or three parts paint, and adjust. More medium means more transparency and slower drying.

Large containers like the gallon usually cost least per ounce. Watch for sales on Liquitex mediums at art supply stores.

Our take on the Gloss Gel Medium

Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium is a thick acrylic gel that boosts gloss, color depth and transparency while slowing drying time and holding brush marks. It also works as a collaging adhesive. The gallon size is the value pick for artists who mix medium into paint regularly. At $81.39 it is priced well below most smaller-tub equivalents per ounce, though it is the only price given here.
