GOLDEN Retarder is a game-changer for acrylic painters seeking to extend the drying time of their paints. This 8 fl oz / 237 ml bottle is a professional-grade additive that enhances the versatility of acrylic mediums, making it ideal for wet-on-wet techniques and reducing skinning on the palette.

Users rave about its gel-like consistency, which doesn't thin the paint but effectively slows drying. This allows artists to maintain control over paint thickness while achieving the desired slow-drying effect. The clear gel blends seamlessly into premixed colors, ensuring continuous usability and reducing waste.

One standout feature is its ability to keep acrylics workable longer under studio lights or sunlight, making it perfect for blending and detailed work. It performs exceptionally well on both wet and regular palettes, offering more control than similar products.

However, some users note that the bottle design could be improved to prevent leaks when stored horizontally. Despite this minor issue, GOLDEN Retarder remains a top choice for professional artists, offering unmatched quality and performance.

Whether you're creating reflections in water or blending colors seamlessly, this retarder delivers exceptional results. A must-have for any acrylic painter looking to elevate their craft!
