Liquitex Flow-Aid Additive – 118 ml


€14,52

Help your acrylic paint spread more easily with fewer visible brush marks. Liquitex Flow-Aid is a concentrated additive that improves flow and makes paint easier to blend.

What it does

1. Helps paint move smoothly across your surface.
2. Reduces visible brush marks.
3. Increases transparency for lighter washes and staining effects.

How to use

1. Dilute 1 part Flow-Aid with 20 parts water. Distilled water works best.

2. Add the diluted mixture gradually to your acrylic paint or medium, following Liquitex’s maximum addition of 25%.

3. Stir gently to avoid bubbles.

Before you start

Always dilute before use. Do not combine with other additives or exceed the recommended amount, as this can cause cracking, poor adhesion or a sticky finish.

Flow-Aid contains no acrylic binder, so it cannot replace the acrylic medium needed to turn loose glow pigment into paint.

FAQs

Learn how to dilute Liquitex Flow Aid, how much to add and when it can help your glow acrylic paint spread more easily - or visit our Full FAQ Page!.

How does flow-aid work?

It breaks the surface tension of the paint so it flows smoothly,without thinning it or weakening the binder the way water does.

Do I have to dilute it?

Yes, always. Liquitex are explicit: "Do not use Flow Aidundiluted as it results in poor acrylic adhesion, cracking, tackiness and watersensitivity." Mix 1 part Flow-Aid to 20 parts water first, or 1 to 10 for a strongereffect.

How much of the diluted mix can I add?

Up to 25% of your paint or medium, stirred inslowly. More than that can cause shrinkage, cracking and the paint film breaking down.

Can I mix it with other additives?

No. Liquitex say not to combine it with otheradditives, for the same reason.
