OWATROL Floetrol - 1 Litre

Thanks to all those that answered my question on using this with emulsion paint. I use light reflecting paint which shows every flaw so was getting a lot of drag where the paint was drying quickly. This made a big difference. The paint was much easier to apply and almost no drag marks. Slowed drying so I could see where I had painted on final coats. It didn't make the paint thinner and drip. I actually had to add the same amount of water. It is better than just diluting with water. It is expensive but I used less paint. Used with dulux light and space.

No idea why it says made in France. It's a French company but the product is actually manufactured in Spain. I don't know why in the instructions they say to add 10 - 15% to a litre. What's wrong with saying add 100 - 150ml to a litre of paint? I thought I'd bought a water based tub of white gloss so I added some of this product to it. Turns out my paint was oil based (only found out when I went to clean the brushes with water, DOH!) so I thought I'd ruined it. Thankfully, no. The paint was fine and the doors, door frames and skirting boards I painted with it turned out just fab. So, it must contain some dispersants allowing it to mix with oil-based paints. Just remember to stir it frequently. And it's about £10 cheaper than the oil-based version. On the downside, however, the paint seems to take a very long time to dry, which being oil-based is expected anyway, and adds a bit of smell to the room for a few days. In any case, the results are brilliant so I will use more of this in the future. Totally recommended.

This stuff really helps acrylic artist paints spread, blend and flow better and begave more similar to an oil paint, personally i find it works better than the artist paint flow mediums, but sheesh it's expensive to buy in the UK.

Does what says. Good product

Ok if like me you were having a nightmare trying to gloss a 6 panel door with just water based gloss. You’ve probably done an Internet search on how you can prevent the paint drying too fast and how to eliminate brush marks? Well I did and I came across this stuff. I love the time you have with oil based gloss and the finish you can achieve with it but really dislike the fact that white gloss goes yellow after time and your constantly painting it again and again. So I decided to go water based but struggled like hell trying to get a good finish. Trust me, by adding approximately 20 percent of this product it helped a lot, although with a 6 panel door you still have to be quite quick whilst painting it on. I just finished one of the 7 doors I have to paint and was pleasantly surprised how much better finish you get compared to not using it. So if like me you are struggling with water based gloss I do recommend you add some of this to it. You would think that paint manufacturers would add this into their paint themselves to help us out but until they improve it I say add this to it…… good luck!

Made such a difference to my paint pours and gave me exactly what I wanted reaction wise. I’m going to try a slightly different ratio of Floetrol to paint but I know it will be exactly what I want. As with most pouring mediums, it is expensive, but the finish is so worth it.

I bought this after reading a lot of professional decorator's singing it's praises. They use it to prolong the wet time of the paint so they have more time to get the paint to level it and to lay it off. Some water based paints dry unbelievably quick, and especially if the room is warm, and they add this to make it dry slower in effect. I found it removed the sheen of the paint a bit. Also I found adding water to water-based paints is better. Water thins the paint obviously, and as water is one of the main ingredients of water based paints, what harm can it do? One of the problems with water based paints is it starts drying too quickly, and when you try to level it with a brush it starts to drag. Add some water and it'll go on a lot smoother and not leave brush marks or use a roller from Two Fussy Blokes.

This is superb for mixing with water based gloss paint. Makes it flow and set more like traditional gloss. A great product and you only need a table spoonful then mix well.

Ich habe das Floetrol für ein Acryl-Pouring-Projekt verwendet und bin vom Ergebnis wirklich begeistert. Wir haben damit Acrylfarben verdünnt und die Farben anschließend auf einer Leinwand übereinandergegeben. Danach haben wir sie mit einem Föhn verteilt, wodurch wunderschöne blütenartige Muster entstanden sind. Das Floetrol lässt sich sehr gut mit den Farben vermischen und sorgt dafür, dass sie schön fließen, ohne ihre Farbintensität zu verlieren. Die Farben ließen sich hervorragend verteilen und es entstanden tolle Übergänge und Effekte. Gerade für kreative Pouring-Projekte ist das Produkt meiner Meinung nach ideal. Die Konsistenz der Farben war genau richtig und das Arbeiten hat richtig Spaß gemacht. Auch für Anfänger ist es gut geeignet, da sich die Farben leicht verarbeiten lassen. Mit dem Ergebnis waren wir mehr als zufrieden. Die Bilder sind wirklich schön geworden und genau so, wie wir sie uns vorgestellt hatten. Ich würde das Floetrol jederzeit wieder für Acryl-Pouring verwenden und kann es klar weiterempfehlen.

Fa il suo lavoro Lo abbiamo usato sulla nostra tela, ottimo

Fast delivery and works very well

Très bon additif pour les peintures à l’eau. Il améliore vraiment la fluidité de la peinture, elle s’étale plus facilement et laisse moins de traces. Je l’utilise aussi pour le pouring et le résultat est plus homogène, avec un meilleur écoulement. Il faut simplement bien respecter les proportions selon l’utilisation. Très satisfait du produit
