A few helpful tips for you. ..1) don't mix your gel with water if you are going to collage with it, your paper will wrinkle 2) a medium can be a sealer but if you plan to keep the artwork I would add an archival sealer 3) Mod Podge isn't a gel, its fluid. It can be used similarly for paper collage but leaves a sticky film and states in the directions that it needs a sealer. I personally don't like or use it 4) mediums were created to change how acrylic paints behave such as become more transparent or extend drying time along with their adhesive uses 5) check out the iridescent gel, its loads of fun

Used Mod Podge once, didn't realize it needed a sealer, but found out the hard way that it stays sticky permanently. It would probably be useful making one's own "sticky notes" or something to catch all the cat fur, but I'll never buy it again.

Just a note, Mod Podge is PVA glue, a little more runny, and maybe with some additives, but it is not acrylic. You'll notice the difference in the result when mixed with acrylic paint and if the climate is cold and humid, as it will stay sticky to the touch. The bottle actually tells you to use acrylic sealant to get rid of the tackines. Also, acrylic medium is, AFAIK, more glossy than matt, and the matt finish is achieved through additives. That makes matt finish acrylic mediums an gels a little bit cloudy sometimes.

Thanks for such a great explanation on how to use gel medium, you are right it was so confusing before your video THANKS!!! I have used Mod Podge and the problem is that even when it is dry if you use it on a journal the pages stick together in parts of the page and you will see the brush strokes. Is the Gel Medium not sticky after dry, I see you use it in your journal do you seal it for it to not stick together after you close the journal after dry?

@KerenTamir 6 жыл бұрын

HI Ana, the gel medium is better quality for sure in comparison to Mod Podge and smoother. However it could get sticky depending on what you use with it. the gloss one tends to stick more than the matte, that's why I like using matte gel medium, or matte medium. if you use matte modge podge and not semi-gloss it will be better. There is a wax sealant that you can add to your pages so it stops them from sticking. This is the one sold at amazon: amzn.to/2FaygmB

no es exacto como verniz, pero mas como decoupage, es impermeable pero es mejor poner varniz encima para proteger si lo quieres utilizar con agua. el gel es mas para pegar y proteger pero sigue siendo como pega. Si pones pintura acrylica se va a cubrir completamente, pero es mejor poner yeso primero para que la pintura se puede pelar. si usas tinta acrylica que es mas liquida, eso va a teñir el gel permanentemente.

I’m making a resin ocean diorama. I heard that gel medium would turn clear if put on top of resin and it would look like waves when turning clear. I used professional slow drying gel medium. It’s still white, it’s not turning clear and it’s still a little sticky. What did I do wrong? What should I do?

Jacqueline I truly don't know as I've never put it on resin. Gel medium especially the matte one turns clear but I'm not sure if its because you put it on resin or maybe its the brand. what brand did you use? I know that if its slow drying it might take longer than usual. regular gel medium takes 24 hours to dry and thats if its a thin coat, not sure how thick yours is. There's just so many factors

Keren Tamir I used professional slow drying gel medium. The brand is artists loft. I got it at michaels. I used a thick amount. I tried finding videos of people using this brand and I haven’t found anything.

Thank you so much for the video. It helps me understand what it is supposed to do with different project. I’ve been wanting to try a photo transfer using matte medium gel that I watched for like 10 years ago. I just didn’t know the brand of the product and where to buy it, and what department in store it should be. Now that I watched your video I’ve seen these products hundred times but didn’t know that was the same product on that tv show I was watching. All I see was GEL MEDIUM and I thought it was just for panting, sometimes I’ve seen it as a glue, so it really confused me even more. I haven’t even think of photo transfer anymore, now I will use it as a glue. Again thank you the search is over. 😘 Sorry for the long comment.

Thanks so much for explaining in detail. Please do a video about modelling paste or texture paste. I have a modelling paste brand campus, which is very fluid. I tried to use it for stencilling but it was not good. It went under the stencil.

@KerenTamir 6 жыл бұрын

I don't think so but I'm not sure as I haven't use silicone tubes before. the silicone I know is white while these are transparent. but it could be that in different countries its called something else!!

Hello can I use the 3D gloss gel to apply Deco foil, instead of using the decofoil transfer gel? Are they the same thing?

@KerenTamir 5 жыл бұрын

Given Mahlangu no I don’t think they are the same thing. Although I can’t be sure the formula is probably different. However having said that I would speculate ( as I’ve never tried) that if you let the gel medium dry enough that it becomes tacky then you could add deco foil. But to get to that point you need to check it constantly To make sure that it doesn’t dry up for me because then it won’t work you need to have a surface a little bit tacky. The best advice I can give you is to experiment and see if it does work As of never tried it. I’m only speculating

@givenmahlangu1266 5 жыл бұрын

@Keren Tamir oh okay thank you. The reason why I was asking is because I've seen some people on KZfaq using texture paste the transparent gloss one and it seemed to have worked great. So I assumed the gel would probably do the same. Thank you for the feedback 😊

@KerenTamir 5 жыл бұрын

@@givenmahlangu1266 oh ok then it should work as its very similar. different brands have different consistency but the idea is the same. the gel medium acts like glue.

Keren Tamir I will try it out and I will give you feedback. Thank you again.
