Compatible with acrylic colors and mediums, it expands creative possibilities while being crafted in the USA by a trusted, employee-owned company with decades of experience. ## Description Offers dramatic weight reductions when building thick layers of acrylic. The density of the wet product is over 50% less than traditional molding paste, resulting in a significantly lighter film.

The consistency is designed to hold stiff peaks to create a highly textured surface. Blends with acrylic colors Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Texture & Easy to Use – Perfect for Beginners & Pros! - I absolutely love Golden Artist Colors Light Molding Paste! As someone who was initially intimidated by texture mediums, this product has been a a fantastic addition to my art supplies. It’s incredibly easy to use, spreads smoothly, and dries to a lightweight yet durable finish. One of the best things about it is how well it blends with other Golden mediums like GAC 100 (for sealing and binding) and GAC 800 (for flexible film formation). The compatibility makes layering and experimenting effortless, allowing for endless creative possibilities. Despite being a beginner, I found this medium extremely user-friendly—no cracking, shrinking, or unexpected issues. And while Golden products are an investment, the quality and versatility make it worth every penny. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality molding paste that delivers professional effects with ease, this is it! Highly recommend! 🎨✨ Review: Perfect for Gourd Embellishments - Love this modling paste. It's very smooth and easy to use, also to clean up. Dries hard, although you can still move it around a bit for some time if adjustments are needed; also able to build up layers. Paintable.

Highly recommend. *by A***R on September 23, 2024* Very important to know….I researched this product and be aware this has a tendency to yellow after time. So glad I did. You need to paint or apply a clear coat to prevent yellowing😉. . So far I have used this in 2 applications and am impressed. Be aware this dries as hard as a rock!!! Make sure not to apply to thick because if you need to sand to smooth surface it takes a fair amount of time to smooth out any imperfections; and if applied to thick cracks😉 Very easy to use. Good value for the money. Just the right consistency. I used this to rim scrolling around my marble coasters. Love the way they turned out added a touch of class. I will however add a protective layer of resin for 2 reasons: first marble will stain eventually and second I don’t want to risk my design around the rim to chip off. Coasters get a lot of use. I will appt a coat of Resign, it dries HARD and is excellent protection on my coasters. Coasters will last for years ## Frequently Bought Together - Golden Artist Colors - Light Molding Paste - 8 oz Jar - Liquitex Professional Matte Gel Medium, 237ml (8-oz) - Golden Molding Paste-8 ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/4399142-artist-colors-light-molding-paste-8-oz-jar](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/4399142-artist-colors-light-molding-paste-8-oz-jar) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
