PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

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.

NOTE: GOLDEN Silkscreen Medium is NOT intended for use on fabrics to be laundered. Use GOLDEN Silkscreen Fabric Gel for such purposes.

PRODUCT APPLICATION

Mixing Information

Although any addition of GOLDEN Silkscreen Medium will increase the open time¹ 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 opacity², but that are more likely to clog in the screen.

Mixing With Other GOLDEN Products

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.
