GOLDEN Glass Bead Gel Acrylic Gel with Glass Beads
GOLDEN Glass Bead Gel is a special acrylic gel containing genuine glass beads, designed for artists working with acrylics. It creates a unique surface that resembles condensation on glass, with a reflective, bubbly texture. The gel dries to a translucent film, and its light effect is most pronounced in a thin layer applied over a light-colored surface.
