Gloss Acrylic Pouring Medium - 500 ml

The Gloss Acrylic Pouring Medium 500 ml is one of the key products for successful work in the acrylic pouring technique. It is mixed with acrylic paints to create a more suitable pouring consistency without changing the original color, while also supporting smoother paint movement and more visually impressive color compositions.

This medium thins the paint, making it more fluid, more elastic, and easier to control during the process. It also slows down drying time, giving you more time to mix, guide, and experiment with different pouring techniques. Once dry, it becomes fully transparent, while the glossy finish enhances color depth and intensity.

It is ideal for creating smooth transitions, abstract forms, and signature cells, especially when used together with silicone oil. It can be used in different ratios depending on the effect you want, giving you freedom to create both richer and more translucent compositions.

If you are looking for a product that truly improves the behavior of acrylic paint and helps you achieve a more professional acrylic pouring result, this gloss medium is one of the most important essentials for a strong start and an impressive finish.

Functions:

• Thins the paints: The medium thins acrylic paints, making them more fluid, more elastic, easier to pour, and easier to work with, without changing their color.
• Slows down drying: It extends the drying time of the paints, giving you more time to work, mix, guide, and experiment with different techniques.
• Improves flow: It improves the movement of the paints across the surface and helps create smoother transitions, more interesting shapes, and more natural color blends.

Types:

• Gloss: Adds shine to the finished artwork and visually enhances the colors, creating a richer and more striking final finish.
• Matte: Preserves the matte look of the artwork and is an excellent choice for artists who are looking for a softer, more elegant, non-glossy finish without compromising flow, transparency, or the quality of the final result.

How to Use:

• Ratio: The ratio between paint and medium can vary from 1 part paint to 3 parts medium up to 1 part paint to 10 parts medium, depending on the desired effect. The more medium is added, the more transparent the paint becomes. For lighter colors such as white, yellow, orange, and similar shades, it is recommended to use a smaller amount of medium in order to preserve better color density.
• Consistency: Mix the paint and the medium until you get a smooth and even mixture. It should be fluid and have a syrup-like consistency. If the mixture is too thick, a small amount of water may be added. It is recommended to add the water gradually until the desired consistency is achieved.
• Silicone oil: Silicone oil is used to create the characteristic cells in the acrylic pouring technique. When combined with pouring medium and acrylic paints, it helps form interesting and striking cell structures. To activate the effect, you can carefully use a hair dryer on a cool setting or a small gas torch.
• Experimenting: Do not be afraid to experiment with different ratios, pouring techniques, and material combinations in order to find the approach that best suits your style and desired result.
• Drying: Paintings created with the acrylic pouring technique usually dry within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the thickness of the layer, the temperature, and the humidity in the room.
• Sealing: Once the painting is completely dry, a varnish may be applied to protect the surface from dust, dirt, and moisture, while also helping reduce color fading caused by exposure to sunlight.

Storage:

• Store the medium tightly closed in a cool, dry place at a temperature between 5 and 30°C.

Important:

• Some mediums may contain ingredients that require use in a well-ventilated area. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the product according to the recommended safety guidelines.
