Irregular size polymer particles add structure and texture to this 100% acrylic polymer gel that dries to a semi-gloss, rough cement finish.

Highly flexible and adhesive
Will resist chipping or cracking on canvas
Gives an opaque/semi-opaque appearance - the thicker you apply, the more opaque it becomes
Can be used on its own, mixed with color or overpainted once dry
Provides an absorbent granite-like ground when mixed with Black Lava and Ceramic Stucco - ideal for Soft Body Acrylic application
Apply thickly to create bold 3D effects, or finely to give surface texture
Maintains color adhesion, durability and archival quality

How to use it: Apply with knife or brush. Can be thinned with a small amount of distilled water if required. Mix with different consistencies and ratios of acrylic color/medium to create custom texture. Start by adding very small amounts of color and build up as needed. Overpaint when dry with acrylic color. To use as a ground - apply a thin layer to surface and leave to dry. Apply thickly for sculptural texture. Mix with Gloss Medium to create a textured glaze. For abstract effects, apply different colors with a knife, building layers dry or wet in wet. Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments

How not to use it: If varnishing, don't be too vigorous as this can cause clouding or foaming - spray varnish will give best results. Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media.
