Liquitex matte medium

[Jeffrav]

I just watched a video of person gluing already painted acrylic parts without scraping down to bare plastic with Liquitex matte medium has anyone ever used this way before.

I wonder why would this be required in wood ship modelling. Could you please provide some examples?

I have glued small parts to acrylic paint with Matt medium.
It works fine as long as there is no tension put on the glued on part.
And it dries quickly on a warm day.

Acrylic paint does not have too strong bond with wood and very weak bond with metal. If you glue separate parts painted with acrylic, even with very strong adhesive, expect that parts can be very easily separated. Paint will fail first.
