4 easy steps to pipe heavy texture
1. Snip It
Cut a small piece off the bag, about 3/4 of an inch. Cut further as needed to increase flow of paint.
2. Twist it
Use dominant hand to twist the top until bag feels firm. Apply steady pressure to force air pockets outs.
3. Squeeze it
Guide the nozzle with one hand, applying pressure with the other to control paint thickness and shape.
4. Clip It
Flatten the open end and clip it for short-term storage. For long-term, transfer to airtight container.
This paint is wonderfully thick and the black has such a stunning shine! The only issue I had with this was the fact that it dried down smaller, so some of the lines I painted together separated to reveal the lower surface. I will keep that in mind when next using this, because it IS so great with various applications. Gaffrey Art Material rocks :D
This paint holds up so well and allows me to create things that I never thought were possible. I’m working on “wearable” art and the paint has held up so well as I’ve been out and about. Will definitely purchase more!
It was a great day when I found GAM heavy texture acrylic paint! There is simply nothing like it for palette knife painting and for using piping tips for fine detail work. This paint has opened up new vistas for me that I am eagerly exploring!
This paint is unbelievable. It is fun to work with. The three demential affect it gives pulls people in and they have to have it.
Each of the Gaffrey heavy texture paints go far beyond what my expectations would and could be at this point. When you look at what other companies charge for heavy texture paint, Gaffrey blows them out of the water
