Schmincke Pouring Medium - 250ml

For this technique, acrylic colours can be mixed with a special pouring medium, stacked in different layers in a bin and afterwards be poured onto the painting ground. The colours flow – depending on the mixing ratio with the medium and the composition – more or less uncontrolled into another and form spectacular and bizarre results while drying.

Handling

• The product is ready to use, can be used pure or mixed with acrylic colours.
• The mixing with acrylic colours can be done at any ratio, but the medium has to predominate; the results depend on the mixing ratio and used acrylic colour series.
• Please don´t use the product below temperatures under 15 °C object- and room-temperatures.
• Extra added silicon oil may generate cracking of the surface.
• Please clean working tools with water after use.
• Close immediately after use.
• Store in a cool and dry place.
• Individual pre-tests are required.
• Leftovers should be disposed professionally.

Characteristics for sole use:

• fluid consistency
• good flowing properties
• glossy
• dries to a clear-transparent, water-resistant surface.
• non-yellowing
• tack-free surface
• can be use as lacquer for acrylic works
• can be poured in layers (each layer has to dry thoroughly before further treatment)
• for nearly all grease-free surfaces (pre-tests recommended) 

Characteristics for combined use with acrylic colours:

• mixable with all Schmincke acrylic colours (PRIMAcryl^®, AKADEMIE^® Acryl color, College^® Acrylic, AERO COLOR^®Professional (for colours from other brands we recommend pre-tests)
• mixing with colours creates a lacquer-like consistency and flow properties
• minimizes possible cracking when being poured in layers
• can be poured in several layers (always after drying) to create depth effects
• increases gloss (depending on amount, colour and range)
• surfaces / grounds should be slightly absorbent, clean, greaseless and stable (pretesting recommended)
