Kielty Inks - Retarding Solution 15ml - Kielty Ink retarding solution significantly lengthens the drying time for any brand of alcohol ink. You can create art in the same way you did before, but now the surface of the inks will remain workable allowing you to manipulate the ink with tools for hours. For instance, adding definition to the bark of a tree without scratching away hardened ink or blurring boundaries between colours with a brush. Using more than the recommended amount is not advisable, less is more and this little bottle will last a VERY long time. 1. Place one droplet of retarder in mixing vessel/palette. 2. Place 4 droplets of ink. 3. Mix thoroughly. 4. Apply to surface. 5. Inks will now take up to a day to set, you can accelerate this with heating. 1:4 is the ratio! Use more ink to retarder for shorter drying times, using more retarder may lead to separation or general weird behaviour (some of which can be interesting). This will not stop the evaporation of solvent from your ink when it is in your palette, so as the solvent evaporates the retarder will be left behind leaving a much thicker ink. This can be used for cool effects. To return the ink to a fluid form use a few drops of alcohol, acetone or blending solution.
