Createx Balancing Clear adds flexibility and adhesion to any water-based paint, letting you work on automotive plastics, helmets, and hard surfaces that typically reject acrylic paint. The urethane component creates mechanical adhesion at the molecular level while maintaining the water-soluble convenience of acrylic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix ratios adjust depending on your substrate and application method. Start with 10-20% for general adhesion improvement on plastics and metals; increase to 30-50% for maximum durability on surfaces subject to handling and environmental exposure. The clear additive doesn't alter color values or transparency, so you maintain precise control over your palette while gaining the performance characteristics of urethane chemistry. Airbrush artists working on motorcycle tanks and custom painters coating hard goods rely on this additive to ensure their work survives real-world use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater cleanup remains possible before curing, but once fully dried, the urethane cross-linking provides genuine durability. This bridges the gap between studio acrylics and industrial coatings without requiring solvents or specialized equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createx","offers":[{"title":"2 oz. \/ bottle","offer_id":48102346850533,"sku":"36237","price":5.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s36237.jpg?v=1768590467","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/createx-balancing-clear","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
