U.S. Art Supply Clear Acrylic Medium Matte Gel, 200ml - (6.7 Ounce) Tube - Increase Viscosity & Transparency in Acrylic Paints

It’s inexpensive, easy to work with and produces the effect I want.

I wanted a more unique way of displaying family photos and was introduced to this technique from a video online. Basically, you print a picture mirrored (flipped around because it will transfer backwards) with a laser printer—it has to be laser because the ink is made of plastic and not dye like an inkjet. You put a generous even layer of this acrylic medium on the image paper, then press the wood down on it using firm pressure to make sure there are no bubbles. Once it has dried entirely overnight, spray the paper with water and rub it away with your finger. Once the paper is all gone, you're left with the image fully transferred to the wood. Works awesome with black & white, but color looks really good too! If you have any acrylic clear coat spray, it'll make the image pop a little with more contrast like I have done here. These will look great on a mantle or shelf and should last indefinitely as long as the materials used don't yellow.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have used this multiple times. Paintings look great every time. Will purchase again.

It was fine, works well.

Nice Quality Matte Gel and the Price is Good-Love it

This worked well to protect an outdoors painted stone.

I used this for collage as an adhesive and sealer but I found it dried slightly translucent and has a rougher texture than I a used to with Golden brand products. It did the job, but you should test it on a sample before you apply it to your collage to see if you want it as your sealing coat.

Just the matte finish I needed at a good price. Perfect.
