Liquitex Bio-Based Gloss Gel - Acrylic Medium


€24,20

Create textured paint with a bio-based gel

Mix pigment with Liquitex Bio-Based Gloss Gel to make thick acrylic paint with a glossy finish. Choose it for raised details, bold brush strokes and palette knife artwork.

What it does

  • Turns pigment into paint: Binds powder into a thick, spreadable mixture.
  • Creates texture: Helps your paint hold brush strokes and palette knife marks.
  • Mixes with acrylic paints: Adds body to thinner paints and gives them a glossy finish.

What does bio-based mean?

Liquitex replaces half of the petroleum-based ingredients in its acrylic resin with ingredients from renewable biological sources.

How to mix glow paint

Mix 30% glow pigment with 70% gel by weight. Add the powder gradually and stir thoroughly. Adjust with more gel if needed. Do not exceed 35% pigment - adding extra powder can cause clumping without improving the glow.

Apply over a white base with a brush or palette knife. Test a small area before starting your project.

You can also mix it directly into ready-made acrylic paint to adjust the texture and finish.

FAQs

What bio-based actually means, how it compares to the standard gel, and what you can make with it. - or visit our Full FAQ Page!.

How much glow in the dark pigment should I add?

Start with a small test mix of 30% pigment and 70% medium by weight. Stir gently and test on a spare surface. Adjust with more gel if needed, but do not exceed 35% pigment. Adding more won’t make the glow brighter and can cause clumping.

So how do I get a brighter glow?

More layers, not more pigment. Two or three thin coats at 1:4 beat one thick, overloadedcoat every time - and use less powder overall.

What does “bio-based” mean?

On average half the ingredients come from plants - corn, soy, sugarcane and algae -instead of from petroleum.

Why not 100% bio-based?

Liquitex say 100% is not currently possible for an acrylic that stays lightfast andarchival. Fifty per cent is the most they can do without losing that.

Does it work as well as the standard gloss gel?

Yes. Same thickness, same clear gloss finish, same 5-7 year shelf life. Use it exactly the same way.
