How to make acrylic paint 3D?

I read somewhere adding glue works but I'm not sure. I can't buy any gels or anything right now so it would have be done with things found at home.


Answer
if you meant to use acrylics as relief or nail art type 3d, the extender or hardener, would be acrylic base, but more of an epoxy resin, the paint itself could be used, as is, but require long dryling type, and will crack or degrade from exposure to elements,

what you may want is powder mix, or plastic melding glue or pastes, acrylic is not enamel , or oil, it is a plastic base polymer, so depending on use, you may have to be careful applying to surfaces that paint wont come off, or will and needs to be removable,

if you are ok with additives, then glue and flour or baking soda/ powder, cornstarch, chalk dust,
if you only need 3d foundation , and then apply colours after, you could look at other glues or resins in house, or use plaster filler, flour water paper mache paste,

look at recyclables for plastics to melt down, electric hot glue melt, clays, wood dust,
those all still depend on purpose of use,
