Tri-Art Liquids - Sap Green Light

Customer service reached out to me based on my previous review. They sent me a new bottle free of charge. I had used Sap Green before and I was extremely impressed with how well it covered when thinned down to a glaze. Sap Green Light, however, seemed to not thin as well. Between the two (Sap Green and Sap Green Light) I was able to apply more layers (4) of Sap Green without achieving full color saturation/intensity. After just 2 layers of Sap Green Light I was at almost full saturation/intensity. Maybe I didn’t thin then equally, but I was surprised at how strong the Sap Green Light achieved almost full saturation. Regardless, I still find Tri-Art to be my first choice for fluid acrylics over Golden, Holbein, DaVinci, and all other hobby paints (Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, etc.)

My first negative experience with Tri-Art Fluid Acrylics. I was excited to receive this and Sap Green in the mail so I could begin painting some Wood Elf miniatures. My first squeeze of the bottle yielded nothing. I squeezed even harder a second and there was a bit of a pop sound and a whole load of super thick paint shot out of the bottle. Having used other Tri-Art fluid acrylics I knew this was the wrong consistency. I added about 5 drops of flow improver to help thin the paint, but it did nothing. This particular bottle has a consistency between heavy and soft body acrylic. I don't think this is the intended consistency. Maybe the bottle I received had been sitting on a shelf for quite some time.
