Product Information
Full details
Pebeo Gloss Gel Medium is an essential tool for acrylic artists and mixed-media creators who want to enhance the depth, transparency, and volume of their work. This versatile medium allows for easy glazing and collage application while providing a professional, high-gloss finish that remains clear over time. While it is excellent for adjusting the consistency of acrylics and inks, users should note that the drying time significantly increases with the thickness of the application, requiring patience for layered projects.

FAQs
Can I use Pebeo Gloss Gel Medium with oil paints?
No, this product is designed specifically for water-based acrylic colors and inks.
Does it change the color of my paint?
It is formulated to be non-yellowing and transparent, so it will maintain the vibrancy of your original colors.
How do I clean my brushes after using the gel?
Clean your tools immediately with warm water and soap before the medium sets.
Can it be used as a final varnish?
While it provides a gloss finish, it is intended as a medium; a dedicated final varnish is recommended for long-term protective sealing.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time depends on the thickness of the layer applied; thinner glazes dry quickly, while thick impasto layers may require several hours or more.
Troubleshooting
Gel appears cloudy after application
The gel will turn transparent as it cures; ensure you have allowed enough time for complete drying, which may take longer in humid conditions.
The gel is too thick for my brushwork
Add a small amount of water to the gel gradually until you reach your desired consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, simply squeeze the desired amount of gel onto your palette and incorporate it into your acrylic colors using a palette knife or brush. Ensure all tools are cleaned immediately after use with warm, soapy water to prevent the gel from hardening on bristles. Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the contents from drying out. This medium is strictly for use with water-based acrylic mediums and inks and should not be mixed with oil-based products.
