Thinner than GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylic colors, Soft Gels are moderately pourable and hold only slight peaks. Soft Gel Gloss is ideal for glazing and other techniques where transparency is desired. Also, the recommended acrylic to function as a glue for collaging. Useful as a non-removable isolation coat, applied over the painting before the varnish layer (must be thinned with water – 2 parts Soft Gel Gloss to 1 parts water).
