Whats another name for 'Self leveling gel medium' used for painting & what does it do?

Question

I have impasto gel & modelling paste at home but I am curious to know the definition of the 'Self leveling' part. Is it the same thing but different name or a totally different product?

Answer 1

Self-leveling usually means that the product will dry in a smooth, consistent layer. Obviously some of that has to do with how you apply the paint, but for the most part I think it will level out brushstrokes and light texture in your painting.

I guess you can always experiment with it. That's half the fun!
