• A thickening gel for water soluble acrylic paint and mediums.
• Used in small amounts, produces handling characteristics very close to that of oil or encaustic paint.
• At higher concentrations can thicken paint or mediums to “cake” or sculptural consistency.
• Drying time will be between 24 hours to 7 days depending upon amount of Liquithick added to paint or medium.
• Liquithick does not increase transparency; Liquithick produces a matte surface sheen to dried paint film.
• Paint and medium shrinkage will occur in proportion to the amount of Liquithick added.

Liquitex Liquithick Additive is excellent for sculptural effects when a matt finish is desired. Gives the handling characteristics of oil or encaustic paint when added to water-based acrylic paints and mediums. Works great with opaque colours as it does not increase transparency or change the position of colours. Should not add more than 25% as there is no binder and it can weaken the stability of the paint film when too much is added.

How to Use - Start by adding a very small amount of Liquithick to colour/medium and mix well with a palette knife. The proper proportion will vary with colour and desired effect. Proportions of 20 or 25 parts colour to 1-part Liquithick will change the handling characteristics. Once applied, leave to dry for five to seven days for maximum strength and flexibility.
