Can I mix it directly into acrylic paint?

Yes. Stir it into acrylic paint to extend volume, slow drying and add transparency. Start with a small amount and add more until you get the consistency you want.

Yes. It dries to a transparent, non-yellowing gloss film. Thick layers may look slightly cloudy while wet but clear as they cure.

Can I use it as a varnish?

No. It is a gel medium for mixing and gluing, not a final varnish. Use a dedicated acrylic varnish for a protective top coat.

How is it different from Liquitex professional gel medium?

The BASICS line has a lower solids content and a more fluid body than the professional gels, so it builds less texture and costs less. The professional gels hold peaks and brush marks better.

Can I use it for image transfers?

Yes. It can transfer images from laserjet prints onto fabric. Inkjet prints will bleed, so use laser prints.

Is it waterproof when dry?

Yes. The dried film is water resistant, permanent and flexible.
