Review: Perfect for Acrylic paint pouring! - I bought this to mix with acrylic paint and start doing paint pours. It works really well! The colors don't dull at all and are exactly like they looked. I did a 3:1 ratio of Floetrol: Acrylic paint for the colors and 4:1 for the background color (I used white). Quick drying and it is so affordable! This gallon sized jug is going to last me a longggg time! I also am going to be experimenting with my house paints to thin it out a little. Will definitely be purchasing again!
Review: Excellent additive for any paint - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this like Liquitex pouring medium?  I would like to see if I can use this in pour painting.**
A: Watch this video it really helped me understand the different mediums with the same paints. On youtube look for the videos of  "deliberatelycreative" and look for the video.  "What's the best pouring medium?"  She is very scientific and compares them the best I've seen.

**Q: can this be used with grout? I have heated floors so grout mixed with water  has cracked so looking for an alternative**
A: I might be wrong, but I can't see this being effective when mixed with tiled floor grout. Have you considered an epoxy grout such as Laticrete Spectralock? Spectralock worked great when my shower grout developed cracks several years ago - still no cracks. Also, it's mold and mildew-resistant, so my shower is easy to clean.

**Q: How much do you add per gallon of paint?**
A: Hi, sorry but I actually use this for acrylic painting (art / craft) so my proportions are based on a teaspoon or two of paint at a time... 

**Q: Can/should you use this with a latex primer such as Kilz Latex 2?**
A: Waste to use with an undercoat.  Mix Kilz Latex Primer with water to dilute thinner.  Mix Floetrol with the top coat Latex for smooth cover no brush marks.
