What is the difference between the thickening gel and the gloss heavy gel?

Is it possible for this product to mold or become old over time?

While it is possible for this product to mold or become old over time, proper storage can prevent this issue.

Can you use the thickening gel with transparent paints and still maintain transparency?

Using the thickening gel with transparent paints will add transparency, which increases as you increase the ratio of thickening gel to paint.
