Matisse Drying Retarder

Matisse Drying Retarder increases working time of acrylic paints & will slow the evaporation of water from the paint. Matisse Drying Retarder may be used in watercolouring, water wash effects, stain painting and hard edge techniques where it assists in pigment wetting, rapid colour diffusion and penetration. On raw canvas, the addition of 3-5% Drying Retarder, pre-diluted with water, will improve the mixing of inorganic pigments, oxides, earth colours, titanium dioxide and metallic pigments.

• Excess amounts of Drying Retarder (over 10%) will severely slow “cross linking” of the acrylic
• Made in Australia
• Slows drying time of acrylic paints
