Thickening cheep paint.

SheldonParry

Hi there.  I bought some super cheep acrylic paint a while back and it's student grade but it's really liquidy and I want to thicken it up or make it into a more advanced or better quality paint..  What can I use to do this?  Or does anybody know how to make this paint better quality because I don't want to throw it away or waste it.

Liquitex has some product 

Gloss Super Heavy Gel Gel Painting Medium Texture … Soft Body Artist Color or Liquitex Professional Heavy Body Artist Color to increase color viscosity … make an inexpensive "student grade" extra-heavy viscosity (thick) gloss acrylic paint. Pigments must be compatible with acrylic emulsion …

Ok thanks.If I mix a bunch of the cheep red stuff up with the gel can I put it into tuperware containers and store in fridge so it doesn't harden?

Sorry I haven't used these products but there should be no problem storing in small airtight containers.
Doesn't need refridgeration.
