- What is Golden Matte Medium used for?
- It extends acrylic color, reduces gloss and strengthens the paint film. It can also be used as a ground instead of gesso, as a decoupage glue or as a temporary varnish.
- Does it change the color of my paint?
- It is opaque, so mixing it into color can lighten or cloud it, especially dark pigments. Test the mix before applying it to a finished piece.
- Is it the same as matte gel?
- No. Matte Medium is pourable and viscous, while matte gel is thicker and holds texture. Use the medium for mixing and sealing, and the gel for building texture.
- Can I use it as a varnish?
- It can serve as a temporary varnish, but it is not a permanent protective topcoat. Use a dedicated varnish for a final, durable finish.
- Does it crack when dry?
- Golden states the medium is permanent and does not crack when dry. Apply it in thin, even layers for the best results.
