What is the purpose of adding acrylic gel medium to paint?

It is used to increase viscosity.

What can acrylic gel medium be used for?

It is specifically designed for special techniques that require thicker paints.

Is acrylic gel medium safe?

Yes, it is certified AP Non-Toxic and does not contain certain allergens such as peanuts or tree nuts.

In collage work, does it wrinkle papers more or less so than Heavy Gel Medium?

It will wrinkle paper as much as any other medium. Wetting the paper before applying the medium helps decrease wrinkling.

Is the finish gloss or matte?

It has a satin finish, not matte or high gloss. It has a nice sheen and is still absorbent.

Is Liquitex matte gel suitable for applying on the front of artwork?

No, avoid using it for that purpose as it dries whitish clear in chunks, regardless of the application thickness.

Can this be used to make DIY lahmian medium for miniature painting?

No, it is designed to thin out acrylic paint and gives it a matte finish. It is not recommended for unfinished wood or paper.

Can I use this for a thick 3D look in my painting?

Yes, you can use it for texture and to achieve a 3D effect. Once your painting is covered in paint and a fixative is applied, it will hold its shape.

Can you mix oil paint with this modeling paste?

Yes, you can mix oil paint with it. It also works well with acrylics.

Can this be used in resin?

No, it is not compatible with resin in wet form. However, if you dry the paste design first, you can pour resin over it.

Can this be used to thicken pouring acrylic?

While not specifically designed for thickening pouring acrylic, it may thicken the paint and add texture to the painting.

The product I received is thick and lumpy, making it hard to blend with paint. Is this expected?

The medium can be thick and gluey. Adding water, preferably distilled water, can help dilute it and make it easier to mix.

When this medium dries, is it waterproof for painting terra cotta pots?

Yes, it is waterproof when dry. However, it is still recommended to apply a sealer to protect it from staining.

Handy Art Designers Palette Artist Acrylic 32 ounce, Gel Medium

The Handy Art Designer's Palette Artist Acrylic Gel Medium is a versatile product that can be used for various kinds of art projects. It allows you to achieve a textured, 3D effect in your painting or crafting projects, and can also be used as a thinning agent for acrylic paint. The finish of the medium is more satin than matte or high gloss, allowing it to take paint nicely while still retaining a pleasing sheen. However, the product is not perfect. Several customers have reported issues with the packaging, with one buyer finding mold forming even while the jar was unopened.

Overall, the Handy Art Designer's Palette Artist Acrylic Gel Medium is a product that can help add texture and dimension to your art projects. However, potential buyers should be aware of the packaging issues and the difficulties some have had in working with the medium.
