Golden Acrylic Paint Retarder 118 ml
Golden Acrylic Paint Retarder 118 ml is a professional additive designed to extend the drying time of acrylic paints. It makes it much easier to use a range of artistic techniques, especially wet-in-wet, which require more time for blending and smooth shade transitions. Its special formula effectively prevents the paint from drying too quickly and forming flakes on the palette. This product is ideal for professional artists, students, and hobby painters who prefer more time to work with paint when creating precise artwork. The retarder is transparent and blends easily with acrylic paints and mediums without changing their shade or coverage. The recommended mixing ratio is no more than 15%, helping the paints retain their optimal properties and ensuring good adhesion to the surface. Golden Retarder gives artists enough time to work creatively, precisely, and in detail without the stress of paint drying too quickly.

Customer reviews
It dries slowly and is hard to apply evenly with a brush. I let it dry halfway before adding another layer of paint. It gave the surface a nice texture and extended the working time while the paint was wet.
If you’ve ever used Stand Oil or sun-thickened linseed oil for amazing glazing techniques in oil painting, this is the acrylic equivalent. It has the same molasses-like consistency and dries to a completely clear, glassy finish. In thin layers, it dries very quickly, allowing you to build great depth in your work. With this and a glazing medium, you can achieve every type of glazing you’ll ever need.
All the Golden acrylic gels and pastes I’ve used have been excellent quality.
