Golden Artist Colors Silkscreen Medium 8oz
Golden Silkscreen Medium is a water-borne system designed to blend with acrylic paints for silk-screen application onto paper, wood and other suitable fine art materials. This product is designed to increase working time and prevent paint from drying in the screen too quickly.
Although any addition of Golden Silkscreen Medium will increase the open time of a paint, a good starting point is to blend even parts of paint and medium. Higher levels of the medium will increasingly affect the transparency, but also will increase the open time. Lower levels of Silkscreen Medium produce mixes with the greatest opacity, but that are more likely to clog in the screen.
Golden Silkscreen Medium can be blended with any of the Golden Acrylic paint lines, Gels and Mediums to lengthen the working (open) time for silk-screening. It is a pourable blend of acrylic, retarder & water that, unlike retarder alone, will form a film, thereby increasing durability and thinning the paint while retarding the drying time.
Silkscreen Medium is not designed to impart opacity. The opacity of the mixture will be determined by the nature of the color being used and the ratio of paint to medium used. Higher levels of the Silkscreen Medium will be increasingly more transparent. Adding Golden Titanium White to a mixture will increase opacity. Any addition of white will lower a color's chroma and value. Additionally, transparent colors, including Iridescent and Interference Colors, can be made to appear more opaque when a "base coat" is screened first.
NOTE: Golden Silkscreen Medium is NOT intended for use on fabrics to be laundered. Use Golden Silkscreen Fabric Gel for such purposes.
Do not mix with oils. Paint on any non-oily surface. Abrade non-absorbent surfaces for increased adhesion. Minimum film formation temperature is 49 F/9 C. Avoid freezing. Clean screens/tools with soap and water. Safe to use with minimal odor.
