    Q:Do you carry Australian Floetrol? It has a red label. And if you don?t have it can you order it?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi Patricia. HD does not sell Australian Floetrol - at least not in my area. If you are wanting it for artistic painting techniques such as blooming, etc., I have seen artists on YouTube mix American Floetrol with Minwax pre stain wood conditioner to achieve amazing paintings. The conditioner comes in both oil and water based. I have seen only the oil based used. I have not yet tried this technique myself. As the Australian is quite pricey and harder to come by, and a small can of the Minwax pre-stain is only about $7, it might be worth a try. 'Meta Pours Fluid Art' is one I know has a recipe video. Hope my answer is relevant to what you wanted it for!

      A:  It is white (or was that last time I bought it 3 years ago) but does not change the color of what it is added to.

        A:  It is white. however it doesn't change the color of the paint until you go over 30% added volume.

          A:  slows drying time so that ongoing painting blends before drying

          by|Feb 4, 2022

          A:  This will do the trick. It slows drying by a few hours, depending on how thick you paint. I used it with paintbrush as well as roller on kitchen cabinets and they are perfect. I rolled then touched up with brush. No strokes at all. Highly recommend.

            Perfect for acrylic paint pourings
            Like so many here, I use this for my acrylic paint pours. It helps me create the perfect consistency with the liquitex paint that I use. Just watch out because sometimes there are chunks in there. Many recommend using a cheesecloth to strain it, but I just pull out chunks when I see them.

              Perfect medium to make acrylic paint more magical
              Can make anyone an artist even if their stick figure drawings stink. A great medium to make beautiful art work. The amount added to the paint give you some different looks. I find adding a little more of the medium to the paint makes it flow better and gives you more time to blend the colors & flow of the art work.

                It had brown chunks and smelled had to return it after a couple days. New gallon is a bit better but need to strain with a cheese cloth and still smells but not as bad. My paint pouring group all over the US have experienced the same issues.

                  I have not tried Floetrol for actual wall paint so I can't speak on that. However, I do use it for acrylic pour artwork and it does an amazing job. It helps prevent the paint from streaking or cracking once dried. I'm so happy to have discovered this product as a paint pour medium and would definitely recommend it.
