Scale75 SAR-001 Acrylic Retarder is a 60 ml additive for extending the working time of acrylic paint. It delays drying by about 15%, giving the painter longer to merge adjacent colours during wet blending and adjust transitions before the layer sets. The retarder can be mixed directly into the paint or applied to the intended surface before the colour layer. Its purpose is drying control rather than airbrush dilution.
Supplied in a 60 ml bottle.
Formulated for use with acrylic paint.
Extends acrylic drying time by approximately 15%.
Supports wet-blending techniques.
Can be added to paint before application.
Can alternatively be placed on the painting surface before the colour layer.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a paint and a wash?+
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?+
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?+
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
