Art Acrylic Retarder 150ml is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 13.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bobby09 from Excellent Wish I'd bought this product earlier. I'm a novice acrylic painter so have struggled in the past to keep my paints from drying too quickly. This is perfect and extends my working time immeasurably.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lizzie167 from Great Value for Money Does exactly what it says. It slows down the drying time enabling me to paint without the paint drying too quickly. Will definatly purchase again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mummykat from Very impressed! I was really impressed with this. It thinned down the paint and made it much easier to work with. Very good for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Curlybobbin from Did exactly what it says on the tin!! Found this brilliant for slowing down the acrylic paint drying time which is too fast usually! It didn't slow it down too much though, you could still layer the paint.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PhilG from Very good stuff Helpful when you want to have more time to use your paint before they dry up! A useful trick I use it for is to make the paint thinner and transparent, it will work very well if you're attempting to blend your colours to create different shades. The first bottle of this retarder I bought a couple of years ago is still working like it did when it was brand new, so it has a long shelf life. My recent purchase prior to this review is from the anticipation of running out! This retarder is so good, once you have used it, you won't ever wish to be without it again!

Rated 4 out of 5 by SteveM1 from Great price Hobbycrafts' own acrylic retarder is inexpensive at £3 for 150ml and very effective. I'm using it on acrylics for plastic kits and it works a treat !

Rated 3 out of 5 by Wmplynig from Not entirely sure if this makes a difference. I bought this to add useability to my acrylic paints during the warm summer months. I used it as suggested, but to be honest, I'm not sure that it affected the drying time very much. Using too much caused a more transparent coverage with the paint, as listed on the bottle. I suppose it may be of some use to some wash effects. Might also provide some longer working times with heavier impasto work, the paintings I used it on were layered fairly thin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Artclassfiend from Useful and economical product Really useful product which allowed me to create subtle effects with a range of acrylic paints. Avoids unworkable dry areas and gives more time to build up beautiful textures.
