Golden Artist Glass Bead Gel (236ml Jar)

Key Features and Tips

• Appearance & Texture: Dries clear with a glossy, pebbled, or "gravelly" surface that is highly reflective.
• Application: Best applied in thin, single layers to allow light to strike the beads properly, as thick layers can turn cloudy.
• Compatibility: Can be tinted with acrylic colors, though it is designed to be used clear over existing paint. It acts as a great adhesive for heavy collage work.
• Handling: Water-based and easy to clean up with soap and water.
• Safety: It is advisable to use caution as individual glass beads can be sharp; wear gloves if necessary. 
   

Recommended Techniques

• Use as a textured top layer to create sparkling highlights over painted, light-colored areas.
• Mix with small amounts of acrylic color, mica powder, or metallic paint for a colored, textured shimmer.
• Apply with a palette knife or brush; it is stiff enough to hold peaks (heavy body).

• To avoid a cloudy effect, apply on a light-colored ground.
