Perfect for artists who want a strong, glossy medium that holds texture without compromise.

It certainly lives up to the promise of an easy and quick filler/modelling compound! Little errors can be quickly fixed and it sets-up in only about an hour for sanding or cutting with a sharp blade or craft-saw. It's hard but of a constant internal structure when fully set, so there are no surprises when carving.I still have the 8oz jar (now about half full) I bought from a local Art Supply over a year ago, so you don't use very much, but when you do it's the answer that nothing else can equal... Simple to use, NO mixing, and the best tool I have for application is a thin, offset, stainless-steel pallet-knife, that will make very small on-point fills or wide, flat spreading for painting textures. (Regular carbon-steel will RUST.)But if you forget to close the lid tightly after each use it will have hardened inside the jar by the next time you need to make or fix something. It's worth taking the extra trouble to make sure it's ON TIGHT.

Love this stuff! Works great for all sorts of purposes.

I love it. Very helpful. I think of this product and my whole body feels relief. I'm so glad it exists, not only for creating texture in acrylic and filling gaps in 3-D work, but also because it saved me once when I needed an acid-free collage adhesive. This was recommended as such in some forums.It's very matte. It's very heavy-body. Keeps its shape nicely when dried.I gave it only 4 stars in the areas of ease of use and spreadability, just because it's not. But I have no suggestions on how to improve that. It's difficult to mix into paint --- takes some patience and muscle work. But that's normal for heavy body acrylic products. There's no way around that. The container is ugh as far as that the product tends to dry out quickly around the top if you are getting into it often, or for longer than a minute or so at a time with the lid off. But again, I see no way around that, and I just accepted it and tried to enjoy it as part of the personality of the experience.Well worth the money. Liquitex is my favorite brand, and this product did not disappoint.

I used the Liquitex Professional Light Modeling Paste (473ml/16oz) for an art class, and it worked wonderfully. The consistency is smooth, which made it easy to apply, whether I was layering thickly or working on finer details. It dried beautifully without cracking, which is always a concern with modeling pastes.One of the highlights was how well it blended with acrylic paints. It allowed me to create textured, intricate designs effortlessly, giving my artwork a polished, professional finish. The quality of the paste definitely added a noticeable difference to the final piece.I hesitated a bit before purchasing it, debating whether it was worth the price, but I’m glad I decided to go for it. It’s a reliable and versatile product that’s great for beginners and experienced artists alike.However, it is on the pricier side, especially if you plan to use it frequently or on large canvases. For smaller projects or when used sparingly, it’s absolutely worth it. I’d recommend this to art students, hobbyists, or anyone looking for a high-quality material for their creative work.

I use the product to create a unique textured acrylic painting. It dried quickly, firmly, and maintained the paint's color with perfection. Great product.
