NOTE: If you can’t find these brands or are in a different country the components you want are an untinted base house paint (base c or d, base 3 or 4 whichever is lowest, deep base or ultra deep base or neutral base) plus a water based polyurethane gloss varnish to make up your Pouring Medium. If you want to try a more traditional pouring medium base because you can’t get certain components, TOTALLY go for it and give it a try 😃 it’s YOUR Art after all! 💜

@@ThePaintedDreamer Yes, you might like it, but you've perfected your technique with your products, so I don't think you will see much of a difference. You should auction it off. You might be able to make a mint!! I just watched an presentation on Shelee's Facebook page by Debra Dunn. She said the Infiniti is so much thinner that she uses the triple thick instead of the Jo Sonja. Is that your experience? I'm sure you've said, but I've watched too many videos and my brain is in a puddle!

I'm pretty sure it's the pillow paint that causes this? (Because they don't shake the deep base before adding whatever color you're buying!) ... If I can find a video where this happened to her ...

Yea this starry can was just a bad can, it actually wasn’t the pillow because I used the same pillow on another test with a different can of that base and no starry effect whatsoever. You’re right though having bubbles like that can be from them shaking it and putting it on the shelf. I did have that happen to a pillow paint once I had to let it sit for a few weeks before I could attempt to use it but had to get another can lol the nerve of them haha! It happens though 🤗

Hey Jodie thanks so much for doing these videos; I've really enjoyed them! I tried the Infinity too (guess I was lucky to get a good quart!) after Shelee mentioned it as a good option. I mix with polycrylic and was using micas and after making my paint thought, ohhhh no this is way too thin, there is no way this is going to work! But it turned out gorgeous! And it dried beautifully. I used a black pillow paint since I was using chameleons and black cell activator and the colors just pop! So, so beautiful. I tried mixing some of the Behr in with another test (1 part polycrylic, 1 part Behr, 1 part Infinity and then fix the consistency by adding one of the paints to get what I want) and while it wasn't as pretty (I was just using regular paints and micas and the white cell activator, which was getting kind of old) it certainly worked at least. Guess I'll bite the bullet and test with my chameleons to get a true comparison. I need to find my set of 'regular paints' that I know work well, like you've done here, to really get a good comparison I guess. Thanks again!!

I think it’s like with anything else, every once in a great while a bad something sneaks in ☺️ .. you are one step ahead of me haha! I was going to test the Behr/infinity mixed together like I mix the Behr/Glidden I just haven’t been able to yet but I did test them mixed up separately but used in the same painting and they definitely work well together!

Eeek! Have you used a lot of it? Can you take it back and exchange it? I put my quart on a shelf to revisit in a few months. Sometimes sitting for a long period of time helps. I had this happen with a gallon of pillow paint once. It was super bubbly and I didn’t have them mix it. I had to get another one but put that one on the shelf for quite some time and when I went back to it, it worked perfectly.

Hi Donna! Thanks so much! For the tube paints I just put about an ounce of the mixed up PM (3:1, Infinity:JS) with a little blob (between pea and blueberry size) and mixed it in well. If it’s thick or you add too much paint just add in a little more PM 😊

You are absolutely welcome Melody! Honestly I love them all!! This Infinity is amazing though as long as you don’t get a weird can. But, I do know with the Glidden having some titanium white in it, if that’s a bother for you maybe give the infinity a go but if it doesn’t bother you keep with it, it’s a great PM (Behr/Glidden/jo sonja) ... Me personally though I like using one PM for one thing and another for another depending on the effect I’m after but if you want one PM only .. I think this Infinity may be a good one for all paints (tube, fluid and pigments). Some use the Behr for everything but it was way too thick for me with the tube paints which is why I mixed with the Glidden 😊

So is the untainted base house paint you mentioned in the comments the second part of your pouring medium ? If so what kind of house paint am I looking for for the pillow? We have jo Sonja (that’s the polyurethane gloss varnish ,right? or no ?) or am I thick ?

@ThePaintedDreamer Жыл бұрын

Since you’re in Australia you won’t be able to get the same brands of paint as we have here but you do have the magic sauce of the Aussie floetrol for your cell activator 🤗. The two parts to your pouring medium is the untinted house paint in gloss and then a clear gloss water based polyurethane varnish, you can certainly use jo sonja for that part yes. For the pillow you want a low sheen white interior wall paint, I think what is popular there for pillow use is the British paints but there may be others as well if you want to experiment, hope this helps! 💜

If I’m using the US floetrol I have a couple recipes, one with the Minwax Prestain conditioner (video #16) and then one with just US floetrol and Amsterdam paint at a high ratio (video #91) of either 9 or 10:1. Each video will tell you what I’m using for that particular piece 🤗💜

This color combination is stunning. Thanks for sharing your experiments. I don’t know if this would help with the quart infinity pillow but what if you torched it for a few seconds in case there were tiny hidden bubbles. I saw someone do this. Not long enough to create a skin. This is a pure guess. I just bought the vivid enamel and the primary elements but haven’t tried them yet.

@ThePaintedDreamer 3 жыл бұрын

You’re very welcome Barbara! Thank YOU!! Yea unfortunately you don’t want to torch any of these products even just a little bit, the pillow might be ok for a few seconds but you run the risk of scorching it. For the PM base with the varnish you absolutely don’t want to torch it because not only is it a fire hazard with the varnish in it but it also releases toxins into the air. I’m curious about the vivid enamel, let me know how you like it! 😃💜

Thanks so much Margaret 🤗. The thicker infinity in the quart can is the same as in the gallon can, it’s the untinted base paint and not a varnish to use to finish your pieces. If you’re looking for a varnish to finish your pieces with I use and recommend the Liquitex Professional line, they have a high gloss, gloss and satin and also they have brush on or spray on. I use the brush on but have my own method of applying. Hope this helps! 🤗💜

White specks or dots can be from bubbles that have popped, you can let your paints sit awhile and stir them gently, poke any back down that you don’t like. This is what I do anyways but if it’s something else or not bubbles it may be a paint reaction of some kind or something is not playing nice together and trial & error will be needed to discover what it is 😊

Yep the Polycrylic will work nicely with the Infinity also Donna. I don’t have a specific ratio like with the other mixes (PM and CA) as all paints are different but I have an estimate how I mix, I put it in my newer videos now but I’m adding it here for you .. also check out the mixing videos I mix up colors towards the end to give you a visual. PM to Paint measurement (ESTIMATE!): 1.5oz (45ml) PM to between 1/4 tsp (1.25ml) to a 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) paint to start. If too thin add a little more paint (or even a gel gloss), if too thick add a little more PM to thin more or even more of your varnish or other acrylic extender/thinner).

1:1 ratio would be very thick, I use 3:1 but be sure to check the description box under each video as all ratios and details are there of what I’m using in each video.

@@ItsVick Your ratios will depend on the consistency of the untinted base you use as well as the varnish. My untinted bases are usually thinner as well as the varnish so a 3:1 ratio is a good mix. Where you might use the 1:1 ratio is using a really thick untinted base like the behr 8300. I’ve used 2:1 with that base but have known others to use 1:1 and it can still be thick.

So what is the solution to the little white "stars"? It's ruined so many of my blooms even after I let the paints sit?

@ThePaintedDreamer 2 жыл бұрын

In the case of this video it ended up being the quart I had and I stopped using it and used another one. In general though if you are getting a lot of white dots coming up from your pillow it could be your paints were too bubbly, let them sit a bit even overnight if possible and stir gently or if you overstretch or over spin they will start popping up because the paint is being stretched too thin. Also if your pillow has too many bubbles in it, this can also be the cause. When I first get a pillow can I don’t let the store shake it up, you’ll never get those bubbles out without letting that can sit for a good month. I stir the can myself and then put some in a smaller container which will allow the bubbles to dissipate in the smaller container faster, and let that sit a couple days before using. Hope this helps. 🙂
