Description

GOLDEN Wetting Aid is an ideal additive for reducing the surface tension of acrylic paint mixtures that have been highly diluted with water. In turn, this allows the “color wash” to readily spread and absorb into raw canvas and other absorbent surfaces.

GOLDEN Wetting Aid is a concentrated surfactant. A surfactant is a liquid, “surface-active” acrylic paint ingredient that reduces the surface tension of a waterborne product such acrylic paint, thus improving wetting and increasing the flow of acrylic waterborne paints. Most acrylic paints, mediums and other products contain low levels of surfactants, but as water is added into the paints, the need to add additional surfactant increases.

Wetting Aid is a concentrated paint additive. It is not intended to be used full strength.

General Dilution Directions: Mixtures of water and Wetting Aid can be added directly to paint or used to pre-wet canvas or paper to increase staining or spread. How strong of a mixture is necessary depends on the type of paints and painting technique. Always dilute Wetting Aid with water before mixing with acrylics, using the least amount of Wetting Aid necessary for the desired application. Test what strength is necessary before making up larger batches.
