All mediums blend with GOLDEN acrylic colors.
Molding Pastes are water-based products formulated with 100% acrylic polymer emulsions, which give great flexibility and durability. Drying times greatly depend upon film thickness. They dry to an opaque, semi-gloss film to which subsequent layers of acrylic paint and mediums can be applied. All Molding Pastes can be easily tinted with GOLDEN Heavy Body, Matte, High Load and Fluid Acrylic Paints. All GOLDEN Molding Pastes clean up with soap and water. Do not let products dry on tools. Keep tools wet while in use. Soak tools in soapy water to remove dried films.
Crackle Paste - Thick and opaque, designed to develop fissure-like cracks as it cures. The size and extent of the crackle pattern is dependent on many factors, including the thickness of application and the environmental conditions (temperature, relative humidity and air flow) during drying. Crackle Paste is a water-based product and may have a tendency to yellow. It has a consistency similar to cake icing, easily manipulated by a palette knife. Peaks will maintain their height and appearance. Film dries to an opaque, matte, absorbent finish. Crackle Paste can be easily tinted with GOLDEN Acrylic Paints.
Coarse Molding Paste - A thick, warm white colored medium that is translucent up to about 1/8". Dries to a hard surfaced, stiff but flexible film with a tooth like fine sandpaper. The dry film accepts wet and dry media very well. Mix with GOLDEN Fluid Acrylics or Heavy Body Acrylics to create a dense-feeling paint that holds good peaks and dries with a matte to satin sheen with a finely pebbled surface.
Fiber Paste - Offers a dry film that has an appearance of rough handmade paper. Skimming the product with a wet palette knife can make a smoother surface. When dry, it has an off-white color and is very absorbent, making it ideal for use with acrylic and watercolor washes or inks. It has a thick, somewhat sticky feel in the wet state.
Hard Molding Paste - Dries to a hard, opaque film. Useful for creating tough, durable finishes for smooth or textured surfaces. Can be carved with hand or power tools.
Light Molding Paste - Offers dramatic weight reductions when building thick layers of acrylic. The density of the wet product is over 50% less than GOLDEN Molding Paste. This results in a significantly lighter film. Beneficial in creating artworks that are large in size, have thick film build-up, or both. Dries to an opaque, matte finish. The consistency is designed to hold stiff peaks to create a highly textured surface.
Regular Molding Paste - Excellent for building surfaces or creating textures. Similar in consistency to GOLDEN Heavy Gels, yet the marble dust solids impart a unique feel due to the material's higher density. It is an opaque gray product that dries to a semi-gloss sheen. Offers a hard yet flexible film that is capable of holding good peaks.
