Vallejo Glaze medium

[DaN]

Found a shop that stocks Vallejo and picked up a bottle...

Now...

Having never used any additives...

How the Hell do I use it?

You can use it straight from the bottle, but I would suggest adding some Liquitex flow-aid to the mix to thin it down a bit more.

ok...
Well I don\'t have any of that

So straight from the bottle it is...

Into... What? Do I just add a few drops into the paint pot and shake?

Or add it to the paint on the pallete?

???

EDIT: :idea: Someone should do an article on using additives correctly and their effects etc etc

if you have any paints that go chalky when heavily diluted just add a drop of the glaze medium mate, it usualy sorts it out.
it\'s also good for breaking surface tension when glazing with inks.

it will last ages as you only need to add a drop into the paint/water mix.

Does it affect drying time?

I actually use the medium on the palette, because I may want a different consistency of the paint in the future.

not when your using it for glazing etc using the \"juice\" technique.

standard washes that most people use (way too much on the brush for my liking) will take a little longer to dry but a hair dryer sorts that out.

There is an article in Brushtralls talks about the glaze medium. Here you go!

EDIT: and here is vallejo\'s explanation on the different mediums
