Professional Acrylic Additive Pot Satin Gel Medium

Liquitex Satin Gel gives your acrylic paint a satin sheen finish, while increasing open time and color brightness. Use it to thicken soft body paint, or to extend the volume of heavy body paint without affecting acrylic stability. The more you add, the more transparent your color will be. If you’re blending or softening edges, the slower dryer time will be useful. Collaging, decoupage or fixing mixed media? Use it direct from the pot as a strong transparent glue.

Lightfastness | How long will it resist fading?

  • Each pigment is rated on scale by the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). Liquitex paints are all rated ASTM I (excellent) or II (very good) and considered permanent and lightfast for 50-100+ years in gallery conditions. Our metallic and fluorescent colors are naturally less lightfast.

Opacity/Transparency | We communicate opacity/transparency clearly on our packaging based on three categories:

  • Opaque: these colors do not allow light to pass through the color layer and offer the best coverage or hiding power.
  • Semi-opaque: these allow for some light to pass through the color layer and sit between opaque and transparent colors
  • Transparent: these colors offer the least coverage and allow light to pass through the color layer to the surface below.
  • Series:
    Pigments come from a variety of sources and have different prices according to their rarity, processing and milling costs. We group our colors into a 'series' pricing structure according to how much each one takes to make. Series 1 colors contain the most inexpensive pigments, while Series 4 and 5 color contain the most expensive pigments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Other creatives have asked us...

I cut the nozzle on my Soft Body or Acrylic Gouache too far down -can I get another one from you?

You can't get replacement nozzles for Liquitex Soft Body; but can use a nozzle from another bottle.
What's the best extender for Soft Body?

It depends what kind of finish you want. Ultra Matte Medium will double your volume without changing the viscosity, color position or opacity, but will give a matte finish. Alternatively Gloss and Medium Mediums will keep the viscosity but increase transparency a little.
Is it true that Soft Body was the first acrylic paint ever invented?

Yes it's true that it was the first commercially available water-based acrylic paint designed for artists, back in the 1950s. Then it was called Liquitex Medium Viscosity.
I used to be able to buy your Soft Body paint in either a tube or pot can I still get it in a tube?

The older Soft Body packaging in tubes has been discontinued.
Do the new big Soft Body bottles also come with nozzles?

Large Soft Body bottles also have nozzle lids, except for tiny sample sizes.
