Thanks Mata fantastic idea, that's what I do since my mix for the bloom technique is the same but without color, I do make US floetrol thinner since the Australian floetrol is much thinner, so I thin mine out with M1 .also there a painters mesh used in gallons size they come 2 to a bag for less than 3dollars at Home Depot and no more strainer needed just cut a small round putt in the top of the floetrol with a rubber band and its filters it fantastically

Hello. I am new to pouring and l am confused. Do you pour paint on canvas? If so how will it stay on canvas? It must be very messy and run all over. If you do pour paint do you use brushes? Would that pour method be considered art? But second thought art can be most anything as art is subjective. Would you just have blobs of paint and no brush work. Also can you do animals people various building and so on. What is the point of pouring paint on canvas? Sorry if l sound ignorant but l am Do you use colors? If do so wouldn't the colors be muddy,? It sounds interesting, l will investigate thanks for your patience with me l am just now learning about pouring. Is it a style or technique?

Hello nice too meet U from Spain!! and thank's for your teaching!!! 😍 What do u use this for...? Cup tecnic, blow dryer tecnic, deeping tecnic, spiral cup tecnic...? And do U addit to every color??? I mix my colors with a base like a pouring medium: untited base paint semigloss, and poliurethane gloss varnis. 15ml - 3.1. The floetrol i use for one of my cell activators is with 1 part of amsterdam titanium white paint, 3 parts of floetrol. 1/2 Ellmers school glue and 5 drops of min wax. There are people that also put acrylic ink. I do put It, in another recipe whithout the school glue. This for blow tecnic and swipe tenic. But I' never try other tecnics with Min Wax instead of silicone oil 100%... I would follow and check more your cool art!! 🤗🎨👏🏽✨

Hi Mata, I love watching your amazingly informative videos, which are always so easy to follow and understand and actually see things close up. I have a question as based here in England, we don't have the same products you do in the US! I understand the pre-stain wood conditioner has to be oil, but we don't have Minwax Pre Stain Wood Conditioner (oil based) here in the UK and to get it from Amazon is madly expensive (£40 plus £10 delivery! About $60). In fact we don't seem to have a oil based pre stain wood conditioner in the UK at all! Would you be able to recommend an alternative? How about an oil based clear wood stain? Would that do it? Or I found Owatrol (Floetrol) do a Oil Rustol - Rust Inhibitor & Paint Additive, do you think that's something that would be a good substitute? It's so frustrating that we can't get what you have in the US, grrrr 🤬. Thank you so much for all your help! Heather, Great Britain

It does have a bad smell. I don't notice it when it's all mixed into the floetrol, but I do notice it when I open the minwax can. It's one of the reasons I mix a bunch at once. So I only have to open the can once. But keep the windows open when I mix it. And tend to only do it when the kids are at their dads.

Are you adding the minwax to create cells in substitution for silicone? I must be a little behind on my video watching because I hadn't heard of this before. But I'm all about using something that adds cells that I don't have to clean my canvas off before I varnish it!
@MetaPours3 жыл бұрын
I would 't say it's a substitute for silicone. But as an additive it helps the floetrol act more like Australian Floetrol, whicb helps make beautiful lacing and cells. But there is a certain "look" that you can get with silicone induced cells. And I don't think it recreates that exactly. But I personally prefer this over silicone. Especially when it comes to the cleanup factor after it's dried.
