Cell pouring paint

how can I make floetrol or alternative, recipe

Floetrol is a popular paint additive used to improve the flow and leveling of acrylic paint. While the
exact formula for Floetrol is proprietary, you can make your own version of it using a few simple
ingredients.

Here's a recipe for a DIY floetrol alternative:

Ingredients:

PVA glue (white school glue) or Elmer's Glue-All

Distilled water
Acrylic paint
Instructions:

Mix 1 part PVA glue with 10 parts distilled water in a container. For example, you can mix 1/2 cup of
glue with 5 cups of water.
Stir the mixture thoroughly until the glue is fully dissolved in the water.
Add 1 part of this mixture to 1 part acrylic paint in a separate container. For example, if you have 1/2
cup of paint, add 1/2 cup of the glue and water mixture to it.
Stir the paint and floetrol mixture well until fully combined.
Test the mixture on a small area to determine if you need to adjust the consistency. If it's too thick, add
a little more water. If it's too thin, add a little more paint or glue and water mixture.
Use the paint and floetrol mixture as you would normally use acrylic paint.
Note: The ratios given in this recipe are not set in stone, and you can adjust them to your liking. Also,
keep in mind that DIY floetrol may not have the same properties as the original product, so results may
vary.

is there is more
Yes, there are other DIY alternatives to Floetrol that you can make at home. Here are a few more
recipes:

Dish Soap and Water:

This is a simple and cost-effective alternative to Floetrol that can help improve paint flow and reduce
brush marks. Mix a small amount of dish soap with water (1-2 drops of soap per cup of water) and add
it to your paint.

Glycerin and Water:

Glycerin is a thick and sticky liquid that can help slow down the drying time of acrylic paint and
improve its flow. Mix 1 part glycerin with 4 parts water and add it to your paint.

Polyvinyl Alcohol and Water:

Polyvinyl alcohol is a synthetic polymer that can be used as a thickening agent in paint. Mix 1
tablespoon of polyvinyl alcohol with 1 cup of distilled water until it dissolves, and add it to your paint.
Flotrol Substitute:
This recipe uses ingredients that are similar to those found in Floetrol. Mix 2 parts distilled water, 1
part PVA glue, and 1 part acrylic paint together until fully combined. Use this mixture as you would
normally use acrylic paint.

Remember, these DIY alternatives may not provide the same results as Floetrol, and it's always a good
idea to test your mixture on a small area before using it on a larger project.

I need above recipe to make a cells in the paint
If you're looking to create cells in your paint, you may want to try adding a silicone oil or a torching
technique to your paint mixture, in addition to using a Floetrol or DIY alternative.

Here's a recipe for a DIY paint mixture that can help create cells:

Ingredients:

Acrylic paint
PVA glue or Elmer's Glue-All
Distilled water
Silicone oil (treadmill oil, dimethicone, or hair serum can be used)
Instructions:

Mix equal parts acrylic paint, PVA glue, and distilled water in a container. For example, if you have 1/2
cup of paint, add 1/2 cup of glue and 1/2 cup of water.
Stir the mixture thoroughly until fully combined.
Add a small amount of silicone oil to the mixture. The amount you add will depend on the size of your
project and the effect you're trying to achieve. A good starting point is to add 1-2 drops of oil per ounce
of paint mixture.
Stir the mixture gently to incorporate the oil. Be careful not to over-stir, as this can break up the cells.
Apply the paint mixture to your surface and use a torch (or a heat gun) to heat the surface of the paint.
This will cause the cells to form and expand.
Allow the paint to dry completely.
Note: The amount of silicone oil you use can affect the size and number of cells that form in your paint.
It's a good idea to experiment with different amounts to find the effect you like. Also, keep in mind that
cells may not form on every part of your painting and can be affected by a variety of factors such as
humidity and temperature.

what they are?
Acrylic pouring mediums are products that are added to acrylic paint to create a thinner, more fluid
consistency that is better suited for pouring, dripping, and creating various effects like cells, blooms,
and veining. Pouring mediums help to improve the flow and leveling of the paint, making it easier to
work with and reducing brush strokes or other texture marks.

There are many different types of pouring mediums available on the market, each with their own
unique formulation and properties. Some common ingredients found in pouring mediums include PVA
glue, acrylic polymer, and other additives like flow improvers or leveling agents.

Silicone oil is another common additive used in acrylic pouring to create cells. It is a clear, colorless,
and odorless oil that reduces the surface tension of the paint and causes it to separate into different
layers, creating the effect of cells or bubbles. However, some people prefer not to use silicone oil due to
concerns about it affecting the longevity or archival quality of the artwork.

Dish soap is another alternative to silicone oil that can be used to create cells in acrylic pouring. It is a
readily available household item that can be added to paint to reduce surface tension and promote cell
formation. Other alternative ingredients that can be used to create cells include alcohol, coconut milk,
and vinegar.

please list all
Here is a list of ingredients that can be used to create cells in acrylic pouring:

Pouring medium (commercially available or DIY with PVA glue and water)
Silicone oil (also called dimethicone, treadmill oil, or hair serum)
Dish soap
Alcohol (isopropyl or rubbing alcohol)
Coconut milk (canned or fresh)
Vinegar (white or apple cider)
Glycerin (food-grade or cosmetic-grade)
Cornstarch
Baby oil (mineral oil)
WD-40 lubricant spray (use with caution and proper ventilation)
It's important to note that while these ingredients can create cells in acrylic pouring, they can also affect
the stability and archival quality of the artwork. Experimenting with different additives and finding the
right balance between creating the desired effect and preserving the integrity of the painting is key.

How do you make a cell activator for paint pouring?
A cell activator is a substance used in paint pouring techniques to create cells or circular patterns on the
surface of the paint. There are different recipes for cell activators, but one popular one is as follows:

Ingredients:

1 part Floetrol (a paint additive that helps with flow)

1 part water
2 parts acrylic paint (in a contrasting color to your base coat)
1-2 drops of silicone oil (to create the cells)
Instructions:

In a disposable cup or container, mix the Floetrol and water together.

Add the acrylic paint to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Add 1-2 drops of silicone oil to the mixture and stir gently. Be careful not to over-stir, as this can break
up the silicone and prevent cell formation.

The cell activator is now ready to use. Pour your base coat of paint onto your canvas, then pour the cell
activator on top in a circular motion. Use a heat gun or torch to activate the cells.

Note: Experiment with the ratios and ingredients to find the recipe that works best for you and the
effect you want to achieve.
