What is the difference between this soft gel and the regular gel? I want to use it for collage.

Soft Gel is a little thinner than the Regular Gel. Both function in the same way, and make an excellent, archival adhesive. Soft Gel is just a little easier to manipulate with a brush.

Does anyone know if you can use alcohol based markers on this when it dries? I've never worked with any type of mediums.

I've only used watercolor on it myself but my guess would be yes. The surface is hard.

How do you use this product and what is the purpose?

I haven't use as of this date...I purchased on the recommendation of an on line class I was taking on scrape booking....to use with water colors when coloring a page/paper...seems it was to give the paint texture,

Can this be used as a final varnish?

You’d be better off using Dorlands wax on watercolor or nothing if it’s going under glass or plexiglass.

excellent craft product.

Good product for crafting. Holds papers together almost like glue does so you can use in place of craft glue and the matte finish is for real . Takes glossy shine off of paper items

) Easy to used and worked a dream

This product is a bit expensive for what it is. It does handle very well though. I used it to glue cotton canvas to hardboard (having already sealed both the hardboard and fabric with Golden GAC100.) Easy to used and worked a dream. However, as a cost experiment I also tried to do the same thing with fairly cheap Craft PVA - first sealing fabric and board with watered down PVA before sticking with full strength PVA. It was trickier and a bit more messy to do - but the end result looks the same.
