DecoArt® Pouring Medium™
A fluid additive specially formulated to enable paint to flow easily across a surface. It thins paint to the ideal consistency, creates cell effects, and reduces cracking and crazing. It will not slow down the drying time, alter the color, or lessen the adhesion of paint. Mix with Americana Acrylics or DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics to create stunning effects on canvas, wood, or other art surfaces. Ratios can be adjusted for a variety of effects.
- Water-based
- Non-yellowing
- Economically-priced
Mix slowly into paint to avoid creating bubbles. Begin mixing using these basic ratio guidelines and adjust until mixture is thin enough to flow easily off of surface when poured: fluid acrylics: 2:1 Paint to Pouring Medium; craft acrylics: 1:1 Paint to Pouring Medium; medium body acrylics: 1:3 Paint to Pouring Medium; heavy body acrylics: 1:6 Paint to Pouring Medium. Once paint is dry, finish with DecoArt Clear Pouring Topcoat if desired. Water-based. Non-yellowing. Soap and water clean up.
Pouring Medium is a water-based product, designed to be mixed with water-based paints. Introducing water or other additives other than DecoArt's Pouring Medium into your paint may compromise the integrity of the paint's adhesion to the surface. Pouring Medium was specially-formulated to thin paint to the ideal consistency for paint pouring techniques while maintaining the adhesion of the paint.
Care should be utilized when using tape to mask off the edges or other areas of the surface. When removing the tape, there is the possibility of breaking the film created by the paint. When removing the tape, wait until the paint is dry to touch. Use a craft knife to score along the edges of the tape. This will ensure the paint will not be pulled up with the tape.
