Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your working surface is perfectly level to prevent the paint from pooling on one side during the drying process. Shake the bottle well before use to ensure the medium is properly emulsified.
- Mixing: Combine your fluid acrylics with the medium slowly to avoid creating air bubbles. If bubbles appear, let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes before pouring.
- Compatibility: This medium is optimized for System3 fluid acrylics but works well with most high-quality fluid acrylic paints. Always perform a test swatch if using highly viscous heavy-body paints.
- Care: Clean all tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Since the medium dries into a waterproof, scratch-resistant film, it is difficult to remove once fully cured. Store the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to prevent premature thickening.
