Slow down the paint drying process with Sax acrylic drying retarder. The slow dry formula helps you create your best art projects by keeping paints wet and workable for up to 3 times longer. It’s easy to use and a little goes a long way. Drizzle the clear solution directly into your acrylics, onto your base coat, or add with water to a spray bottle for misting over the canvas and palette before starting paintwork. This will help break the surface and instantly allow for smooth brush strokes. Our paint retarder will not alter the colors of acrylics or other mediums.
