HEAVY BODY VS SOFT BODY We're often asked this. If you thought Soft Body was just a watered down Heavy Body, you’d be wrong. This flowing, low viscosity formula was actually created first. The two paints have compatible binders and pack the same high pigment load. But if you thin Heavy Body with water or medium, you reduce concentration and get noticeably weaker colors. Paint feel, performance and stability is also impacted, so choose the right consistency of paint for the task.

Review: Fab fab fab - These are the best paints I've used...definitely recommend them
Review: They are not 475 ml as advertised ,only 22ml - First of all Liquitex is very good quality paint? This is not about the quality ,it’s about being scammed bye Liquitex Ltd!! They’re advertising this item at £37.95+ £1.50 postage for 475 ml. They are not this quantity, they are 22 ml? I’ve noticed on closer inspection, if you look at the photographs you have to look close up to see they are 22ml , but could easily be missed when you have 475 ml already in your head from the original underlined advertisement in green! Most of us trust desertcart adverts at first glance. I didn’t look at these Photos…I have spent thousands of pounds over the years, another good brand is (Gold, heavy body) acrylic/ professional standard acrylic which I also love. Liquitex paints can be Bought on the High Street for a lot cheaper, 60 ml, 12 in a box of exactly the same quality ,(heavy body acrylic) for £45, for twice the quantity and more. I want the quantity you’ve advertised Liquitex?You’ve broken the law with false advertising. Don’t bye these!!! Go to your High Street/ Cassarts uk, or their website! To get a better price. It’s shameful that you’re being ripped off! Because online it should be cheaper, for gods sake isn’t that why we shop here desertcart😡?

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a hue, or single pigment, and if a single pigment, what is the pigment number?**
A: Hi...as far as I can tell it's a single pigment and the number is PR 122...hope this helps, it is a gorgeous colour and spreads really well.

**Q: Is this paint UV activated (fluorescent)?**
A: the liquitex site explains that it's lightfast and UV fade resistant - you do not need to 'activate it' by shining UV over it. If you have doubts you could just ask them directly: https://www.liquitex.com/row/contact-us/ (I'll be amused if Amazon don't let me post the contact details for the manufacturer).

**Q: Would this work on wood?**
A: If you primed the wood with Gesso I think it would.

**Q: Can i use it for PC watercooling? Is it safe?**
A: Yes its safe used as their instructions advise. 
When using Acrylics remember they are thicker and cover better than watercolours, you can use both together no worries.
