Liquitex Professional Flow-Aid Additive Medium
Breaks water tension to improve flow and lower viscosity
Gives a smooth finish with less brush strokes due to reduced surface friction
Increases transparency and makes color more absorbent and blendable
Do not use Flow Aid undiluted as it results in poor acrylic adhesion, cracking, tackiness and water sensitivity
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
How to Use
- First dilute your concentrated Flow Aid with water - 1 part Flow Aid to 20 parts water - distilled water will give the best results. Use 1 part Flow Aid to 10 parts water if you want a more concentrated effect
- Add up to 25% of diluted Flow Aid to your color/medium and stir slowly to avoid foaming. If it does foam, leave it to sit while the foam disappears
- If applying to an absorbent surface, your color/medium will sink in like a stain or dye; if using on a non-absorbent surface your color/medium will be more fluid and take longer to dry
- As this is an additive – with no acrylic binders - do not add more than 25% to your color/medium and do not mix with other additives. This can cause excessive shrinkage, cracking and the acrylic film to break down
- Do not shake or stir too vigorously as foam will form
