Liquitex Matte Gel - Acrylic Medium


€21,78

Make your own glow in the dark acrylic paint

Mix glow pigment with Liquitex Matte Gel to create thick, spreadable paint with a matte finish.

What it does

  • Turns pigment into paint: Holds the powder together and helps it stick to your surface.
  • Adds texture: Helps brush strokes and palette knife marks hold their shape.
  • Creates a matte finish: Can also be mixed into ready-made acrylic paint for a non-glossy surface.

How to mix

Mix 30% glow pigment with 70% gel by weight. Add the powder gradually and stir thoroughly until evenly mixed.

Adjust with more gel if needed, but do not exceed 35% pigment. Adding more won’t make the glow brighter and can cause clumping.

Apply over a white base with a brush or palette knife. Test a small area and check the glow once fully dry.

FAQs

Learn how to mix thicker glow paint, create brush texture and allow enough drying time for gel layers. - or visit our Full FAQ Page!.

What makes gel different from fluid medium?

Gel has a thicker consistency and holds visible marks. Fluid medium spreads more easily into thin layers. Choose based on the texture you want.

How much glow in the dark pigment should I use to mix?

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

Can I add it to ready-made acrylic paints?

Yes. It can add body to thinner acrylic paint and reduce shine. Extra gel also lowers pigment concentration, so test the glow before using it across your project.

Why does my gel mixture take longer to dry?

Thicker layers dry more slowly than thin fluid layers. Allow extra time before adding another coat. A dry surface does not always mean the centre is dry.
