Use this additive with Liquitex Acrylics to extend drying time. It increases transparency when floating, blending, shading and washing colours. Use Slow-Dri Fluid Retarder in place of water before loading the brush with paint, to eliminate drag and improve flow. It helps to reduce paint skinning on the palette and is excellent for transparent washes, liner work, and wet-on-wet techniques. Cleans up with soap and water.
