Use MM38 acrylic thickener as an alternative to adding gels and other impasto or building mediums to paint which work by imparting their own thicker bulk to a paint mix. This medium chemically thickens the paint. It is a rheology modifier, that is, it changes the flow and viscosity of the paint, without losing any colour. You may notice a reduced sheen in some colours, which can be adjusted with varnish once dry. Add a few drops to acrylic paint and work it into the paint with a pallet knife.Continue to work the paint withthe pallet knife until you see the paint thicken.If you don't see results straight away keep workingthe paint it will thicken, patience is the key here.Use within 24 hours of mixing in - *Use 2-3 % toyour paint - any more than 5-7% (depending on theoriginal viscosity) will not continue to thickenthepaint but possibly start to thin it down again.
