You don't need Australian Floetrol!
Рет қаралды 53,362
Күн бұрынI believe I have found a way to make your own Autralian Floetrol for acrylic paint pouring. For some reason Australian Floetrol makes the best blooms and swipes, especially those taught by SheleeArt.
However, in the United States and other places getting your hands on some can be very expensive. I've been working on finding a cheap alternative that works just as well and I think I've found one.

There really is some great potential here. I bought a liter of AUS Floetrol for $50. A quart of Flood Penetrol (at my local Philadelphia Home Depot) is $9.98. The AUS Floetrol is great, but really cost-prohibitive for a lot of people. With this being a viable alternative, it could really allow artists to expand their repertoire of painting techniques.

I find that US floetrol works just fine at a much higher ratio... 10:1 or there about. The key to great cells and lacing, with swipes or blowouts, is patience. Swipe super slow. Wait to tilt or spin for a few minutes. Same with blowing... wait for good development before tilting or spinning. Tilt or spin slow. I think people watch speeded up videos and think they need to go that fast.

That is good point. I need to identify when I speed things up and how long I wait in between. Thanks my friend.

It's great to see that you are testing alternatives to Floetrol for cell activation. Please keep at it as I am unable to get Floetrol of any kind or Penetrol in the African country where I currently live. The only option for cells that I have is silicone oil, which to be honest, I dislike using as it's often very low grade here and then takes a lot of cleaning to get it off the canvass. I love watching your experiments and hope that one day you will find a product that gives fabulous cells that I can actually find here 😆 I keep trying different things too but as of yet have had nothing good to report. Thank you so much for your informative and very educational posts.

Yeah, I don't have the ability to test products from other countries but maybe my testing will give you idea of doing some yourself.

Have you tried mixing Amsterdam Titanium White or Amsterdam Black with water? This seems to give me decent cells. I use it as a cell activator.

I know. I have a few more tests to run (Resin mainly) but so far everything is working great.

Jeff, have you ever put drops of Minwax Pre-Stain into the paint and floetrol mix? It words very well too. Your test canvas turned out to be a really cool painting!

I have tried but never got quite the same results. I might have to do a head to head.

Amazon is out of Flood Penetrol. I've been doing some cell experiments and have been having some success with making a CA from 1 paint mixed with 1/2 water. It worked better than floetrol and paint for me. Thanks for your nice videos.

That is awesome and much simpler.

I finally got hold of some penetrol and I must be doing something wrong because I still get better results with paint and water.

Thank you so much for your experiment and your diligence in trying to find an alternative for all of us. I am in Canada So getting most of the products is a bit of a challenge. I look forward to seeing your answer regarding having to clean a canvas similar to having to clean a canvas due to oil residue issues like you have when you use silicone. Can’t wait to see your answer on if the painting has to be cleaned when it dries because Flood Penetrol was used. Thanks much

There is no visible oily residue. I haven't resined yet though so that will be the final test.

@@LeftBrainedArtist Thank you for your testing! Please do an update after you resin. I would be very happy to have an Australian Floetrol alternative that isn't a cleaning nightmare.

Just fyi, here in SW Ontario, Flood Floetrol is available at our Dulux paint store. And our Benjamin Moore store has the Flood Penetrol. Good Luck!
