In this video, I compare different brands of acrylic paint for gel printing, with a focus on how they stack up against my go-to, Golden Open acrylics. Many of you have mentioned struggling to get the same results using other brands, so I'll be testing out a few popular options and sharing my thoughts. Plus, I’ll reveal a magic ingredient that can help other acrylics behave more like the Golden Open acrylic!
This video is a bit longer so I have included Chapters in the description. Spend more time watching the comparisons that interest you and skip the ones that don’t. And I have included a review at the end so we can compare the dried prints.
