I used this this to glue larger dried flowers (like the size of dried carnations) onto paper to put into a frame, and it worked perfectly. Specifically I needed a glue that I could also "mold" into a base for my flower to dry on, since the stem made the flower very unstable with a typical glue that would come out much thinner. It dried clear, but due to the thickness, do not expect a completely invisible result. Either way it was excellent for what I needed it for, and it is easy to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Golden Heavy Gel Matte *by on Reviewed in the United States September 8, 2024* The quality is nice and thick. It was very easy to use. I use it to put texture on my reborn dolls. I let it dry for a day before touching it. I think the jar could be a little bigger for the cost. The performance of a he product is very good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Matte gel medium *by on Reviewed in the United States August 11, 2024* Works perfectly to adhere my watercolor paintings on my wood paneled frames. ## Frequently Bought Together - Golden Artist Colors GEL HVY GEL(MATTE) 8OZ - Lineco NEUTRAL PH ADHESIVE 8 OZ - US Artquest Perfect Paper Adhesive 7.9-Ounce, Matte --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/24530517-golden-artist-colors-heavy-gel-matte-8-fl-oz-jar](https://www.desertcart.us/products/24530517-golden-artist-colors-heavy-gel-matte-8-fl-oz-jar) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
