Gel Retarder - Slows Drying Time - 250ml .
Delays the drying time of paint without thinning it, allowing for the blendability of oils with the ease of acrylics. .
Gel Retarder extends the drying time of the Jo Sonja’s Artists’ Colours. It allows an extended working or “open” time for blending and a thicker application of colour can be used in painting techniques. .
Gel Retarder may be used in various ways.
.
Practise techniques using this medium before committing to a project. .
Directions:
.
As a painting medium, moisten the brush with Gel Retarder and blend well with colour. .
If paint drags during painting, refresh by picking up additional Gel Retarder in the brush and repeat palette blending. .
Apply a thin coat of Gel Retarder directly to the surface for an extended working time. .
Retarder Medium can be used to thin the Gel Retarder and decrease the “open time” as needed for your area. .
Begin with 1 part Gel Retarder to 1 part paint. Gel Retarder may be mixed directly into palette colours beginning with an approximate ration of 1 part Gel Retarder to 3 parts paint. .
For antiquing, thin colour with Gel Retarder. .
Ratio is determined by strength of colour desired. Begin with 2 parts paint to 1 part Gel Retarder. .
Apply over the painted surface and wipe to create desired effect. .
Use Gel Retarder on a cloth to remove excess. .
When using Gel Retarder, drying time is greatly extended. .
Surface may feel dry and still be holding moisture.
.
A hair dryer can be used to speed surface drying. .
An extended dry and cure time should be allowed and varies due to humidity and climatic conditions.
.
A coat of Flow Medium, Magic Mix or Clear Glaze Medium is recommended prior to application of varnish.
.
Any “seizing” or curdling of the product indicates the presence of uncured Gel Retarder. .
Immediately stop application and dry completely before proceeding.
.
Clean up with mild soap and cool water.
.
NOTE: Gel Retarder is not recommended for use in brushes after cleaning for storage
