Why should you use Floetrol?
Floetrol makes paint easier to work with as it extends the drying time and makes the consistency more fluid. This makes acrylic paint work like oil paint. In addition to this, Floetrol enhances the paint's own properties. Floetrol reduces the risk of brush strokes and markings from other tools. The agent causes the paint to slide easily on the substrate and thus makes painting easier. Floetrol neither yellows nor changes color with time.
Floetrol can be used as a pouring medium for acrylic pouring because it makes the paint more fluid. It is a good alternative as Floetrol is so affordable and therefore good if you want to make large and many works, or if you have recently started experimenting with different acrylic pouring techniques.
