- What is the difference between Gloss Medium and Polymer Medium?
- They are the same product under a new name. GOLDEN renamed Polymer Medium to Gloss Medium; the formula and uses are unchanged.
- Can I use it to make my own glazes?
- Yes. Mix it with acrylic color and a little water to build transparent glazes. More medium means more transparency and gloss.
- Does it work with all acrylic brands?
- It is formulated for GOLDEN acrylics but mixes with most water-based acrylics. Test a small batch first with other brands.
- Will it make my painting dry slower?
- It extends working time somewhat, but it is not a retarder. For much slower drying, use a dedicated retarder instead.
- Do I need a varnish over it?
- Not for the medium itself, but a final varnish protects the surface and evens out gloss. Choose a varnish with the finish you want.
- Can I use it as a glue for collage?
- It can bond porous materials like paper and canvas, and it dries clear. For heavy or non-porous items, use a dedicated adhesive.
