The label adds that it reduces blockages and makes eventual cleaning of screens easier, and that it is useful in fine, detailed work. Art rooms in warm weather, screen-printing classes and students blending colours slowly are the obvious users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlending soft gradients becomes easier when colour stays open on the palette instead of skinning over. The directions give a precise ratio: add to Chromacryl acrylic paint at 1:10 parts by volume, which a teacher can measure out for each table to keep results consistent across a class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the retarder with a small cup so every table mixes the same ratio.
