This medium is for the preparation of watercolour paper so that already dreid colour can be removed afterwards, so a watercolour painting can be modified or corrected. Especially usefull for staining watercolours, which are hard to remove, marked with the triangle symbol. The medium has to be applied before the colour application, as it isolates the paper. Using very soft, textured paper types like e.g. rag paper, the medium has to be applied purely. For stronger sized papers the medium should be thinned with water. Pre-tests are recommended. As the Lift-off Medium dries to a water-insoluble film, it must never be put into the pans. Please clean tools as soon as possible with water and soap.

Retarder is ready to use and should be mixed with acrylic colours on a separate palette in a ratio of max. 30 %. The effect depends on the amount of added medium; adding around 20 % extends the colour’s drying time by approx. 50 %. The product has no properties for film formation and therefore should not be use in pure form! The product can be diluted with water. Please clean tools as soon as possible with water or water and soap. Just dried acrylic colours can be removed with brush cleaner 50051 / 50052. Please don´t use the product below temperatures under 10 °C object- and room-temperatures. Close immediately after use. Store in a cool and dry place. Protect from frost. Individual pre-tests are required.
