What finish does it dry to?
It dries to a transparent, flexible film with a high-gloss finish.
Can it be mixed with all acrylic paints?
Yes, it blends with all acrylic colours, though it works particularly well with Golden Fluid Acrylics.
Is it waterproof once dry?
Yes, like all Golden mediums, it becomes completely waterproof after drying.
How do you apply it?
It can be dripped from a palette knife or brush and pulled across the painting surface. It can also be mixed with paint on the palette before application.
Can it be diluted?
