Homemade matte medium recipe?

[Nerys]

Anyone know this ? And how to make gloss medium ? How to make medium heavy or extra heavy?
Is butter gloss sold for cardmaking the same ingredients?

I didn’t know it was possible to make these mediums but there are tutorials on YouTube. I found this one for gloss medium that uses Elmer’s Glue and a water-based Minwax varnish:

I have never tried this but it would be fun to experiment. Here’s one for matte medium that contains glue, glycerin and corn starch:

There’s a link at the bottom of this one that explains the process in more detail. Butter gloss is not something I am familiar with but there is probably information about making something similar out there. Good luck!

Thanks.

I hope you’ll let us know if you find something that works. Doing collage uses so much of this stuff.

Oh this is cool,I had no idea either. I like to use satin medium when I can get it, I'll see if I can find a recipe for that.
