Is it possible somehow to make acrylic paints to dry slower? Maybe using something else than water with them. Or should I just buy new set of oil colors? |

Jep, ohenna veden sijasta tahi sen lis�ksi tollaisella hidastimella (eli Retarderilla), pit�isi auttaa. En oo itse kokeillut, mutta huomasin kyll� akryyleill� pelatessani ett� sellaiselle voisi olla tarvetta jos haluaa jotain duunia rauhassa rakennella.
Temperasta varmaan l�ytyy, jos ei muualta.
http://www.tempera.fi
Ainiin, kysy Temperasta Painting Mediumia, joka on veden sijasta k�ytett�v� blendausaine. Niit� ehk� l�ytyy valmiina eri tarkoituksiin (kuten kiilto/matta), ja eri kuivumisajoilla tms. Silloin et kai tarvitse tota Retarderia, mutta piruko n�ist� ottaa selv��. �ljymaaleissa Mediumit taitaa olla pellava�ljyn ja t�rp�tin sekoituksia, akryyleist� en oikein tied�. Niin joo, ja jos haluaa ett� lopullisen maalauksen pinta on tasaisen kiilt�v�, niin maalikerrosten v�liss� voi kai k�ytt�� sellaista lakan tapaista kiillonpoistoa, jos nyt en taas ihan v��rin muista. Tsemppi�!
edit: gotta love to spam here in Finnish, I am another Retarder here, hehe. |

Thanks alot! I got the answer I needed. Retarder, got it.
Temperaan siis. Juuh, t�ss� tulee oikein huono omatunto kun niin v�h�n tekee mit��n perinteisill� v�lineill�, joten pakko edes v�lill� yritt��. Ja akryylit, ihan kiva, ett� kuivuu nopeasti, mutta siin�p� olikin ongelma jotain kohtaa pit�isikin v�h�n pidemp��n v��nt�� tai saada siveltimen vedot piiloon. Oon t�ss� juuri oopinut tajuamaan, etten vaan pysty maalaamaan nopeasti (l�hinn� johtuu siit�, ett� skilleiss� tulee sein� aika nopee vastaan). Siksi esim. speediet ei tunnut kovin luontevalta. Eli kiitoksia vaan vinkist�. Eik�h�n se t�st�!
Sorry guys, I�m a lazy ass and writing in english is hard job, heh heh. |

Only our secret L337 talk. Can you figure out how to replace those letters to unlock the code? |

Just be sure to not add water to the paint when you use retarder or else it will not work. And don't expect miracles from it, it still dries pretty quick.
Code L337 out. |

Ghehe I'm propably the only one in the world who thinks that acrylics dry far too slowly. I like to stick to non-opaque aquarels and use then like acrylics. Nut then again, I'm stupid.. |

Bought it today. I�m gonna test it asap. Pretty expensive though, � 7,50, 60ml at Suomalainen (Temperaan saakka ei jaksanut k�vell�).

works like an expensive magic wand. It doesnt take forever to the paint to dry put when used heavily, the paint was still sticky after 24h of drying. So it definetly gives alot more time to work. Smells pretty bad though. |
