Floetrol makes interior and exterior emulsion and acrylic paints (including coloured wood stains) work more like oil-based paints. Unlike damaging paint thinners or water, Floetrol does all this without affecting the inherent qualities of the paint or colour.

    It does what it says on the tin

    This is very hard to get hold of in the shops in Worcester, so I was very pleased to be able to buy it here. I am actually using in for art work and not for DIY, so I can't say what it is like for what it was meant to do, but it works very well with the paints I am using (acrylics) for the type of art I am working on. I will definitely be buying some more from this supplier.

  • Most critical review

    Not as good as I expected.

    I bought this to add to some water based paint that I was using to paint a kitchen end panel. I had some colour matched paint made up but it was drying too fast and leaving brush/roller/pad marks in the finish. I'd expected this to increase the flow rate so that it would allow the paint to flatten out. I added the maximum recommended amount to the paint and even tried adding some water to thin it down. The finish was slightly better but not worth the extra cost of the Floetrol.

  • Easy work and easy floetrol!

    This product makes painting easy to apply due to the way it alters the viscosity of the paint. It is easy to mix into the paint and flows effortlessly using any paint brush or roller. It doesn't leave brush marks, which is an added bonus.

  • Good stuff!

    I have used this, for the first time, as a medium for flow painting with acrylics. It does the job well. All such products seem awfully expensive so it is hard to judge whether it is good value. However this was the best price I could see for a litre. I shal need more next time!

  • Floetrol for pouring

    I had seen on the internet some had been using floetrol, so I thought I would try it. I wanted it because people had said it was very good for Acrylic pouring. They were right, it makes the paint move and settle much better. The only problem is, it is expensive and if you use a lot of it it makes the cost of your art higher.

  • A fabulous addition to the creative process.

    I use it with my artists' acrylic paint to increase flow without loss of colour density. Much more economical than the standard artists' brands. A little goes a long way so it is cheap enough for you to really experiment with all kinds of painting processes such as pouring techniques.

  • Unconventional use for this product to assist flow in acrylic pour art

    I use this product to assist flow in mixes of acrylic paint for pouring artwork and as an additive when mixing acrylic paint. Very important to shake product before opening as instructed. Produces a lot of bubbles in the paint so important to mix well trying not to add air when mixing and let paint stand until bubbles subside a little. You will need to torch or heat gun the poured paint to eliminate bubbles.

  • Need this product for acrylic pouring

    This Floetrol is excellent and an extra component which is required for good quality acrylic pouring art pieces. Because it’s made abroad and imported by very few companies the price is high, in fact its four times that which is charged in the USA . But hey ho needs must!

  • Overpriced but useful product

    This product is the same as floetrol available widely in the US. It is intended for decorators to condition and thin paint for decorating purposes, however I and many others use it as a paint mixing medium for artwork. it is really overpriced in this country yet I have not yet had the same results with other mediums I have tried.
