Description

Matisse MM38 Acrylic Thickener is an alternative to adding gels and other impasto or building mediums to paint. The alternatives work by imparting their own thicker bulk to a paint mix.          Matisse MM38 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 once dried, producing a film which can be adjusted with varnish once dry.  In a 250ml Bottle
