Customer Questions & Answers

  • Question: What is Retarder by GOLDEN used for?

    Answer: Retarder by GOLDEN is an acrylic fluid medium specifically designed to slow down the drying time of acrylic paints. This can be particularly useful for artists who want to blend colors or maintain a workable surface for extended periods. The medium allows for better manipulation of paint, making it ideal for techniques like glazing or detailed work where longer drying times enhance the finish.
  • Question: How do I use Retarder in my acrylic painting?

    Answer: To use Retarder, mix it into your acrylic paint directly on your palette. A little goes a long way; typically, a 10% to 15% ratio of Retarder to paint is sufficient to extend drying time without compromising the paint's consistency. This is especially beneficial for detailed work or in warmer environments where paint tends to dry faster.
  • Question: Can I mix Retarder with any brand of acrylic paint?

    Answer: Yes, Retarder by GOLDEN can be mixed with most acrylic paints. However, it's essential to check that the paint does not have any specific formulations that may react negatively with additives. Using GOLDEN Retarder with GOLDEN acrylics ensures compatibility and optimal performance, particularly if you want to achieve intricate layering or blending effects.
  • Question: Is Retarder by GOLDEN suitable for beginners?

    Answer: Absolutely! Retarder is user-friendly and allows beginners more time to work with acrylics without the pressure of the paint drying too quickly. This added time helps new artists focus on their techniques, composition, and blending skills, making it an excellent product for those still honing their craft.
  • Question: Does Retarder alter the color of the paint?

    Answer: Retarder by GOLDEN is designed to be clear and should not alter the color of the paint when mixed correctly. It is important to mix it thoroughly to maintain color integrity. This makes it ideal for glazing techniques where maintaining the original hue is crucial, especially when layering transparent colors.
  • Question: Can Retarder be used in other types of mixed media?

    Answer: Yes, Retarder can be effectively incorporated into other mixed media projects alongside acrylics. Artists often use it in conjunction with other mediums like watercolor or ink, to slow down drying times and improve blending capabilities. Just remember to test different mixtures for compatibility and desired effects.
  • Question: How does the bottle size affect usage?

    Answer: The 8 fl oz (237 ml) bottle size of Retarder by GOLDEN is a convenient option for both casual and serious artists. This amount allows for multiple projects without taking up too much space in your studio. It’s suitable for both larger canvases and smaller works, allowing artists to experiment with their techniques without the frequent need to purchase additional supplies.
  • Question: Can I use Retarder outdoors?

    Answer: Yes, you can use Retarder outdoors! However, be mindful of environmental factors like temperature and humidity, as these can affect drying times significantly. If painting outside in warm conditions, using Retarder can greatly enhance your ability to manage the working time of your paints, allowing for extended periods of application and blending.
  • Question: How do I clean my brushes after using Retarder?

    Answer: Cleaning your brushes after using Retarder is similar to cleaning after using regular acrylic paints. Use water and soap to thoroughly wash the brushes and remove any residue. It's recommended to clean the brushes immediately after use to prevent the Retarder from drying in the bristles, which can affect future use.
  • Question: Where can I buy Retarder by GOLDEN, 8 fl oz. 237 ml bottle in Iceland?

    Answer: You can buy Retarder by GOLDEN, 8 fl oz. (237 ml) bottle from Ubuy in Iceland. Ubuy offers a wide selection of artistic supplies, including this professional acrylic fluid medium, making it easy for you to get what you need for your creative projects.
