Makes your acrylic paint dry more slowly
Retarder medium is a clear medium that makes your paint dry more slowly. This is the brush-on one, not the airbrush one (although it probably works fine in airbrushes). If you've never used it, you only need to add a little bit to your paint, not a lot. It's useful in certain situations, like wet blending 2 colors together in a smooth transition over a large area (since acrylic paint normally dries in seconds) that you might need a minute or two for. As you know, you can trust Vallejo to make top quality painting products.

Nice addition to paint by numbers kit
I like to do paint by numbers kits, the kind that are 16x20 and come with a bunch of small pots of acrylic paint. The paint tends to get pretty goopy after a few hours of being open. Someone recommended this retarder to help it stay supple. It works great. Usually I just put a drop or two into the pot and stir with a toothpick. Sometimes, I put it on the canvas itself and paint over it. (I do that when I'm blending colors on the canvas and want more time to get it right.) It was a cheap little bottle and has lasted me forever. Good value for money.

Great product!
Good retarder to slow down the acrylic paint from drying quickly. Using it concentrated can cause acrylic paint to be more runny and can make the paint coverage be more transparent. Mixed 50/50 with water and customized it to your liking that way by adding a drop each time.

Very expensive - Hard to tell if it does anything
I'm a rank amateur with airbrushing buy a couple ounces of this is WAY overpriced. I have no clue whether it actually does anything. Just bought it from what others recommended.

Works great!
I added some to a 4oz dropper bottle with distilled water, and it works great. My paint stays workable on the figure long enough to do what I need it to. Couldn't be happier.
