Flood Floetrol Latex Paint Additive & Conditioner

Works as advertised.

I've used this product for years and wouldn't be without it. I use it with Latex paint when painting faux finishes, like a wood grain or marble look, etc, when I paint furniture or when I paint walls with a paint that is hard to spread. I use it with acrylic paint for art painting and wall murals. It extends the open time (prolongs drying time) and makes your paint flow and apply SO smoothly, it prevents brush and roller marks and allows latex paint to self level like an oil base. It does not change the quality, color or opacity of the paint. You can either apply it directly onto the surface you are painting or you can mix it into the paint. It actually extends paint so it goes further. After using it so many years, I don't follow the mixing directions. I have a good feel for how much to use depending on what I'm working on and what I'm looking for it to do. The more you put into your paint, the slower the paint will dry and longer you'll have to work with it. It is white in color, like Elmer's glue, but it dries clear. As long as the cover is sealed tightly, it will be as good as new even after sitting on the shelf for a long time. I've had opened (and well sealed) bottles sit for several years and it's never gotten thick or lumpy, it never changes. I don't know what the deal is with the reviewers who have problems with it being lumpy, chunky or stringy. I never have. Just be sure to shake well before every use. When it sits for a long time, it turns clear but returns to its normal white color when you shake it up....and shake it well! This is a great product, and I recommend it for anyone doing any project using water based paint.

Been ordering 1 a month and so far no issues. Works perfect for thinning acrylic paint

I use several different types of mediums

I should have bought two not just one. Great for Acrylic pouring!!

Can't live without this! Just like Ralph Laren's extending liquid...lots cheaper and holds up to my acrylics and latex alike!

Nice product. I think it had some stuff I need to filter out

Notes from a DIY home remodeler, not a professional painter… I’ve been painted a lot of interior moldings and doors over the past 50 years. Interior and exterior paint has changed a lot in that time. Back in “the day”, up to 10-15 years ago, paint flowed well, was thick, and when brushed on easy and settled into a smooth finish. But at that time the expectation about water-soluble paint viscosity/drying time was based on the qualities typical to quality oil-base paints, and for that matter, paints that had contained lead. Fast forward to now, and little old me. For the life of me, I couldn’t get the wide range of the paints I tried out to lay down flat and smooth, not even with added water or dish detergent. So I tried Flood’s Floetrol, and my word, the paint is flowing perfectly off my brush again. With this additive, the paint does take more time to dry. But, oh my, the alternative… brush marks, and sometimes rough-surfaced finishes, delivery us from that. Flood, thank you!

Muy bueno para la digestion

The product came faster than the date mentioned in the order. I have been trying acrylic pour with silicon oil but no cells came. By using fleotrol cells came in my first bloom painting itself. It is costly as shipped from outside India I think. However I feel it was worth the experience.

Exelent
