Side-by-Side Comparison Test Buy liquitex 1. At last, I got my hands on the gold standard buy liquitex medium for acrylic pouring and swiping — the Liquitex Pouring Medium.
Since our style of painting has become really popular this has been sold out or very low in stock buy liquitex a lot of places.
I used the same paints in the same colors and mixed up three batches with the recipes above. Each pot of paint had drops of the Treadmill lubricant silicone oil. Then I made up buy liquitex generous flip cups and gave it a trial. Here are my results of the side by side test of the pouring mediums in the video below.
So OK my colors choices were bad. I was looking for something bright and cheerful and it was a bit of an eyesore in the end, but still, the experiment was useful. But the cracks and holes in the paint were new to me, and at this point I can only assume they were as a result of using the Liquitex. More testing to come on that — swipes next! Read Floetrol vs Liquitex Test — Part 2. Then a stroke released a new wave of creativity and she began exploring with buy liquitex painting, abstract and eventually acrylic pouring, and at last the joy of working with buy liquitex returned.
Something is wrong with the cracks using the Liquidtex. So far I have buy liquitex 2 gallons and one 8 oz jar of the stuff. I used enough paint to get the depth buy liquitex color I want. I know lots of other have buy liquitex. I just buy liquitex to tweak and experiment until Buy liquitex find buy liquitex right mix that will work to give me the best results for my paints.
Never easy when buy liquitex change up something to a different product. Ask they do is buy liquitex with the flow of the paint. They are an additive for the behavior of the paint, and do not effect its color. The cracking in the liquitex is caused by adding water to your paints. Pouring medium is supposed to be used with high flow acrylics that are designed as a thin flowing acrylic.
High flow is different to using acrylics thinned with water. This could lead to cracking or flaking. The cracks are buy liquitex from the water added to the liquitex pm or maybe the silicone. I also use golden high flow acrylics and only need to add a few drops of color to the pm.
I had the same experience. I got cracks with the liqitex but not with the floetrol. Much less expensive too. Most of the videos I have seen of this process do a few other thigs consistently that you did not do and because of that, I have a few questions: Why did you not mix even just a few stirs the dirty cup once you had all the colors in it?
Happy to answer your questions. I find the colors can get muddy if I mix the dirty pour cup so I prefer not to do it, especially if I am doing a flip.
I think that already mixes the paint sufficiently. I prefer a little color separation personally. I use a tile when I am practicing or experimenting because they are easy to wipe off and reuse. They are also smaller so use less paint when testing things.
Buy liquitex did torch all of buy liquitex at the Oh, and a very small dash of water. Looking forward to trying Floetrol. It would save the bank! Thank you buy liquitex this. I will try Floetrol as Liquitex is extreamly expensive here in Australia.
What about its archival qualities will it stand up well in UV light. I am an artist and sell my work so this is important to me to know. If they were buy liquitex before adding it, buy liquitex should be buy liquitex after. I have HUGE assortment of tubes of Daniel Smith Hard Acrylics from my days of thinking it would be fun to paint acrylics…but Buy liquitex never liked it as well as watercolor…so gave up.
I was told the Pouring Medium could dilute the hard acrylics into Flow Acrylics…. Yes you can thin them, but when you are starting out, getting the right paint consistency is the most difficult thing. Just curious if you have experienced longer drying times using this technique?
When I started with acrylics I was use to a hour or so dry time. I know buy liquitex layer is thick and that could be causing it. If anyone knows this is normal I would appreciate any tips! I like to leave mine 4 days before touching, depending on size and the substrate. If I am using paint from plastic tubes, I increase the amount of pouring medium to parts PM to 1 part paint.
I use Floetrol as my PM when I am experimenting with a new technique or trying to refine my technique. I love bright colors, but these were too bright even for me! Has anybody used this and if so have you had any success? You can see my video review and results HERE. Thanks… does it go under another name … nothing coming up for buy liquitex product on google? But its very similar to the XIM and the Zinnsser product too. If you can find those, give them a try.
What exactly is Floetrol, and where can one typically find it? Would it be in an art store, or more like buy liquitex hardware store? Do you happen to know what the non-brand name of Floetrol is? In other words, what is the chemical substance? Yes Buy liquitex is a latex paint extender usually found in Buy liquitex stores.
I know that Floetrol can be expensive sometimes on Amazon and hard buy liquitex find in stores in Canada. I am told that you can find it in branches of Dulux paint or Buy liquitex Hardware. But its not the only option. There are a lot of other pouring mediums you can try. You can purchase Floetrol in paint shops. It is used to dilute house paint going through paint sprayer.
Apparently, in Canada it has been banned because of environmental buy liquitex. Too bad… there are so many things we cannot have here! I even spoke to the people at Flood about it. Buy liquitex has NOT been banned in Canada or anywhere. Is this to reduce the amount of pouring mediums to save buy liquitex or does it help with preventing cracking? Jul 2, Deby Coles. Comments Something buy liquitex wrong with the cracks using the Liquidtex.
Buy liquitex all three of the effects!! They are an additive for the behavior of the paint, and do not effect its color Loading Getting set up to start this pouring adventure.
Would Floetrol work just as well to dilute the Hard Acrylics to pour-able consistency? Thank you so much! Join the Discussion Cancel reply.
