An additive that slows the drying time of acrylic paints and mediums by up to 40%. An absolutely essential additive if working in drier climates. Mix into the paint when on the palette to slow the skinning-over of paint and increase blending time. Should not add more than 25% as there is no binder and it can weaken the stability of the paint film when too much is added.

Does reduce drying rate
This does make a considerable difference to the amount of time the paints remain wet on the pallete or board. Make it easier to blend and mix colours.
