A thicker gel which is mixed with colours to increase the body of the paint. It is excellent for holding peaks and dries translucent.

Paint with glass.

GOLDEN Glass Bead Gel has a coarse texture in a Heavy Body gel which holds peaks. It is made with genuine glass beads giving a unique visual effect, like condensation on glass, which is best seen when a thin film of the gel is used, allowing the most light to reach the beads.

This gel can be made to appear similar to Coarse Pumice Gel or Clear Granular Gel by mixing with enough paint to hide the appearance of the glass beads.

Golden Clear Leveling Gel (formerly called Self-Leveling Gel) is unique in its stringy consistency, which results from its self-leveling property. It can be poured or brushed. The dried gel is clear, glossy and flexible. Blend it with acrylic paints or mediums to increase transparency, sheen and leveling quality. It is an excellent additive to acrylic paints for glazing.

OPEN Acrylic Gel (Gloss) is the same consistency as the colours and is used to extend the paints while maintaining working properties.

OPEN Acrylics remain wet for much longer than other acrylics, which greatly facilitates blending, softening, shading, glazing and fine detail. The drying time varies with how thickly the paint is applied. Thicker applications may be worked for hours.
