Hi everyone,

have you tried using just acrylic medium? I think you would find that your results would be similar and you get full control of the amount of pigment you add to it.

I tend to just dilute citadel washes down with water and a little dishwashing soap. It lowers the surface tension enough that the glaze spreads and forms an even layer. Good idea though. Similar to people using future floor polish etc.. as mediums.

Yea best bit for me it's taht there's a bit of wash to it so some of the pigment sinks on to the previous surface of the paint, or cracks, adding a bit more details to it... yea lazy, I know
