Smooth and silky
If you use acrylic paint, this is definitely the go to, to thin it out a bit. Doesn’t change the colour and keeps the paint nice and smooth. Excellent.

Must have for miniature painters
I use this for miniature painting. I have decanted it into a smaller dropper bottle for easier use, but I think this one bottle will last a lifetime. There's enough that I've got some extra dropper bottles to give to friends. It helps reduce visible brush strokes and is great for techniques like wet blending.

not just for acrylics!
I bought this after watching a YouTube video that explained that too much water under-binds the binders in paint [acrylic] causing the paint to eventually flake/peel off. and this can be used with acrylic but also OTHER paints; like watercolour, tempera, ink, powder pigments, enamel, even oil! eventhou a 237ml bottle won't last long if you pour it into your paint, I suggest getting a wide-mouth/tubed pipette [I used a Frisk measuring pipette] and dropping the amount you want into your paint [this saves on wasting the liquid and you can get a much better gauge of the amount you need and changes in consistency] if you use this on it's own [wither glazing or just to cover a blank area] it does give a semi-matt sheen and if used straight on paper it causes the surface to 'wrinkle/bubble' before drying flattens them out [thou if the area becomes too saturated the flaws will remain] also note; you CAN mix this with water [thou the label tells you not to] but you will have to give your mixes a stir every now and then and it will develop a 'sheen' over the surface - this doesn't appear to cause any damage/harm to your paint/ink mixes. AND you can mix this with Winsor & Newton's Aquapasto - thou depending on ratio of liquid to paste you will more then likely get a mix that's as 'sloppy' as watery mud [again no noticeable side-effects from mixing the two]

Great Product
Wonderful product which I buy a lot. I go through quite a lot of paints and thickener very quickly and this is perfect. I need to buy a new tub of this maybe every 6 weeks but this has dramatically increased in price the past few years and seems to be even more expensive with each time I buy it. Looking back at my orders, in early 2022 a tub of this was around £13 and his increased up to over £20 in Autumn 2024. But needs must. I will recommend this product to anyone, but it does burn a hole in your pocket.
