Use alone or as a final varnish for acrylic paintings, a glazing medium, or glue for collage. This medium thins with water and can also be used for glazing, as an adhesive, in thick applications in molds or armatures for a flexible, plastic-like effect, and in papier mache projects. This is the ideal primer for oil painting on vellum. Dries clear, is flexible and water resistant when dry. Do not mix with oils or turpentine. Wash brushes and tools with soap and water. Keep jar tightly closed. Stir well before using. Available in 8oz. jars. Made in USA.

works well

### ⭐⭐⭐ Maybe not for the price
*by M***N on January 24, 2012*

As all artists know, materials are pricey. And with the added shipping and handling: even more pricey. I bought this as a gift for my sister and now know to only buy these products at the store, UNLESS, there is a discount on the actual product and/or free shipping.
