Golden Regular Matte Gel Medium-8 ounce

excellent

I am giving this product ONE star to call attention to the warning label on the side of the jar. It saysWarning: This product contains a chemical known to the State of CA to cause cancer. Whether or not this could be a remote truth… I do not want to use a product that states this caveat. I am sure (from reading the other reviews) that this might be an awesome art product, but Id rather see a label that is positive.

Use it for my crafts

great for art projects

Great product, hard to wash out of hair though

I like everything about this product. I use it on collages, on paper clay, anything with paper to adhere and to add a protective coating.

I used this Golden medium to adhere stamped card stock cutouts to previously painted paper. It worked well. I coated both the base and the back side of the stamped cutout. After it dried, I covered the cutout with more medium. This medium dries very quickly to a clear and very matte, soft-looking finish. I bought both this and the Liquitex matte medium. So far I think I like the Liquitex better for my purposes, since I dont need to dilute it. This product is very thick. However, both are high quality products.

ready happy with end of results

I have used Golden Gel Medium for years. I love this product. It can be mixed with acrylics to give the paint a much denser tooth or to be used as a permanent glue. Once the gel medium dries it holds and it is archival quality so over time there is little yellowing. When I create assemblage or decoupage sorts of pieces this is my go to adhesive.

Has been fun to be able to add texture to my paintings
