A Heavy body, coarse gel, that contains irregular sized and shaped opaque
flakes.
White flake texture is most apparent when mixed with transparent or translucent
colors or small amounts of opaque color.
If pure white is desired, add a small amount of Liquitex® Titanium White.
- Texture: Thick Flakes
- Sheen: Matte
- Relative Opacity: Opaque
Application
Apply with palette knife, trowel, paint brush, etc. Different tools produce
different effects.
Mix acrylic paint into Texture Gel or let gel dry and paint on top.
Mix with Gloss Medium & Varnish to produce textured glazes.
Very small amounts of paint are needed since most Liquitex Texture Gels are
translucent.
Add Liquitex Gel Medium or Heavy Gel Medium when using additional aggregates
(such as sand) to avoid brittleness.
Varnish with care to avoid foaming or clouding. Spray apply if possible.
