Flood Penetrol 1-Qt. Clear Paint Additive

Love this for adding to my paints when I'm pouring. Helps my paints flow and promotes cells and lacing.

Always a cheap and great buy as an additive to my acrylic paint for my paint pours!!!

works really good but is very expensive in mixing with a think paint

This product serves as a pouring medium. It performed admirably, though its consistency was somewhat thick, prompting me to introduce a small amount of water. The resulting mixture ultimately yields a greater volume of the product. It did not change the color of any of my paint and was super easy to use.

Floetrol is the best! It slows down the drying time of any paint...even the high quality paints of an artist.... without changing the pigment load. Great thing to have in the studio.

Very experienced DIY'er here. Been painting and refinishing various things for a lot of years. Can't believe it took me this long to discover this stuff. I'm working on a big built-in cabinet project. All scratch built. Started painting some of it with sprayer because I didn't want brush or roller marks. But what a nuisance that sprayer is. Wastes paint, takes way too long to set up, gotta put up plastic everywhere, takes too much space to do the spraying. And the CLEANUP -- yuck -- takes forever! I've got a lot of painting left to do on these cabinets. About twelve feet wide by nine feet high. Need to paint the cabinet interiors, face frames, shelves, and 20 doors. So I started Googling to see if I could find a way to paint by hand without leaving brush or roller marks. I found mention of Floetrol on a forum somewhere. Dug further. Bought some. Figured I'd try it on a few of the adjustable shelves to see if I could avoid hauling out the sprayer and all that plastic sheeting for the rest of the project. Just tried it. Shelves were already painted with primer and sanded. Added eight oz of Floetrol to a little less than a gallon of Sherwin Williams Emerald Interior Acrylic Latex Paint (semigloss). Definitely need to make sure you mix up the Floetrol itself -- very gloppy. Then when I added to the paint, I mixed the heck out of it with the paint mixer drill attachment. Used Ace best quality small (4" x 3/8" nap) white woven paint roller to spread the paint. I was pretty generous with the amount I applied. Great news: looks like it was sprayed. No trace of a roller mark. Nice, smooth, uniform coverage. No need to do another coat either. I do think the resulting finish is a little less glossy than it would have been without the Floetrol, but definitely worth it. With so much more painting to do on this project, I'm very glad I found Floetrol. Saved from the sprayer!

Love this stuff, it's really helpful for getting paint to lay smooth even when applied with a brush. Indispensable for any kind of acrylic pour techniques. Highly recommend.

This works incredible with my paint it they give great sales
