Great for wood transfers!
I wanted a more unique way of displaying family photos and was introduced to this technique from a video online. Basically, you print a picture mirrored (flipped around because it will transfer backwards) with a laser printer—it has to be laser because the ink is made of plastic and not dye like an inkjet. You put a generous even layer of this acrylic medium on the image paper, then press the wood down on it using firm pressure to make sure there are no bubbles. Once it has dried entirely overnight, spray the paper with water and rub it away with your finger. Once the paper is all gone, you're left with the image fully transferred to the wood. Works awesome with black & white, but color looks really good too!If you have any acrylic clear coat spray, it'll make the image pop a little with more contrast like I have done here.These will look great on a mantle or shelf and should last indefinitely as long as the materials used don't yellow.

Nice painting, buddy-boy
This acrylic medium blends well with all colors. It's easy to apply and saves one a lot of colored paint.

Creamy smooth blendibility!
Using this medium lends a transparency and creaminess to my acrylic paints. My favorite use is for painting the illusions of shadow when mixed with a touch of blue and black to give a realistic sense of shadows I have been previously unable to duplicate. Buy a tube or two, you will find it a go to answer to transparency issues.

Beautiful soft finish.
I use this Acrylic Medium Matte Gel as a finish for the layering and collage work in making cards and journals. Goes on smoothly and dries quickly. Gives a quality, beautiful matte/satiny finish. Will repurchase. Fast shipping.

Best medium ever!
I used to use a different medium sold at walmart but they stopped selling it so I found this and its been the BEST medium I've ever used. It's way better than the other one and the finish is amazing! It's not as easy to scratch off and is great to use for toner prints and it works great as an adhesive. I love it!

Matte finish. Mammoth stink
The product works well, it gives the matte finish that it is supposed to and maybe a bit more drying time to work with but it smells absolutely terrible! It's a chemical smell that gave me a headache and made me flee my studio space. It smells so bad that I had to go to Hobby Lobby (who I hate almost as badly as this smells) to get medium from Liquitex. I will not be buying any other medium from this maker for fear that it may stink up my studio. Never again
