The pumice stingles offer different levels of granularity, from fine-grained to very coarse-grained. All form hard, robust surfaces after drying.

Pumice gel fine dries to a fine-grained, velvety-matte surface that is well suited, for example, as a primer for oil and dry pastels as well as for oil crayons. Coarse pumice gels produce correspondingly coarser and more grainy surfaces that have a concrete-like effect.

Any of the gels can be mixed with acrylic paint or added to other Golden Gels or painting mediums to increase flexibility. Appealing on the dried, grainy-rough and very absorbent surface is both glazing with diluted acrylic paint and painting in dry brush technique with very thick paint.
