Gloss Pouring Medium - Liquitex Professional Effects, 473ml (16-oz)

The pouring medium is formulated specifically to create a smooth, seamless, and strong body of paint when it is poured or dripped onto a surface. Its design aims to increase flow, eliminate crazing, and provide a high gloss flexible finish.To achieve the best results, it is recommended to start with a tablespoon of Soft Body color mixed with a cup of Pouring Medium (approximately 5% color to 95% medium) and adjust as necessary based on your technique. If using Acrylic Ink or Heavy Body Acrylic, the ratio can be adjusted to achieve the desired consistency. When mixing, it is important to stir gently to avoid creating foam. If bubbles do appear, allow the mixture to sit and the bubbles will rise and disappear. Uneven flow heights can lead to crazing and cracking, so it is important to ensure that the poured surface is level while drying. It is important to heed the warning that this product contains chemicals, including 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer.

The pouring medium is ideal for flow technology and casting applications with acrylic paint, producing smooth, wet-look pours with a high gloss finish. It can be mixed with any acrylic paint to create even color films without compromising transparency. This medium extends the color further while maintaining acrylic stability. Its properties include increasing color flow, enhancing shine, and preventing hairline cracks and bubbles. Additionally, it is resistant to aging, as it does not yellow, dries waterproof, remains flexible after drying, and maintains a strong finish. It also ensures paint adhesion, durability, and archival quality.

When used in watering applications, the pouring medium prevents hairline cracks and bubbles in drip and pouring applications, even with puddles and acrylic skins.
