To make acrylics thicker, you have to use a gel that's actually thicker than the paint you're using. Adding regular gel to heavy body acrylics won't do much to make it thicker.
You'll want to use thicker gels such as the super heavy gel from Liquitex or the extra heavy gels from golden.
Of course, if you're using fluid acrylics then you can use regular gel to thicken them up.
Flour and joint compound are cheap way to thicken acrylics but they're not archival. In my testing they dried brittle and cracked easy when I bent the watercolor paper.
Acrylic mediums are much more flexible and are less likely to cause cracking. In the video, I fold a piece of palette paper that has a layer of acrylic paint and gel medium in half. I couldn't get it to crack at all.
