Hobby paint medium/additive VALLEJO 73.596 60 ml plastic dispenser transparent

VALLEJO 73.596 is a 60 ml transparent hobby paint medium supplied in a plastic dispenser. This colorless glaze is formulated for use with acrylic hobby paints to modify working properties: it improves fluidity, increases transparency and extends drying time. The medium is suitable for model makers, miniature painters and diorama builders who need finer control over glazes, shading and pigment work without altering the base colour.

Advantages

The glaze medium increases paint flow and transparency while slowing the curing process, making it easier to produce smooth layered glazes and subtle transitions. Its neutral, colorless composition preserves original hues and allows for working with pigments and washes. The plastic dispenser provides precise application and convenient storage for repeated use during detailed painting tasks.

Suitable for

• Creating glazes and thin washes on models and miniatures
• Extending drying time for wet-blending and smooth transitions
• Improving flow for airbrushing or hand-brushing fine details
• Mixing with pigments to increase transparency without tinting

Key specifications

• Volume: 60 ml
• Appearance: colorless, transparent glaze
• Container: plastic dispenser bottle for controlled dosing
• Compatibility: formulated for acrylic hobby paints
• Primary effects: increases fluidity, increases transparency, slows drying time

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use. Add small amounts of the glaze medium to acrylic paint on a palette and mix until the desired consistency and transparency are achieved. For subtle glazes and shading, use a higher ratio of medium to paint; for improved flow without excessive transparency, add moderate amounts. Apply with brush or airbrush as required and allow additional drying time compared to undiluted paint. Clean tools with water after use.

Usage recommendations

Test mixtures on a scrap surface before applying to finished work to find the preferred ratio for glazing, shading or airbrushing. Store the dispenser upright in a cool, dry place and reseal after use to maintain consistency.
