Liquitex Effects Medium, Slow-Dri Fluid Retarder

A slow-drying fluid is essential for those working with acrylic paints in dry environments. It can extend the drying time of paints and mediums by a significant 40%. This additive should be mixed directly into the paint on the palette to prevent the paint from skinning over too quickly, allowing for longer blending time.

It is important to note that the fluid should not be added in quantities exceeding 25%, as it lacks a binder and can compromise the stability of the paint film if used excessively.

This binder-free fluid contains slow-drying agents that effectively increase the 'open' or working time of acrylic paint. By reducing the skinning-over of paint on the palette, it enables artists to have more control over blending colors and creating intricate brushwork details.
