I find that US floetrol works just fine at a much higher ratio... 10:1 or there about. The key to great cells and lacing, with swipes or blowouts, is patience. Swipe super slow. Wait to tilt or spin for a few minutes. Same with blowing... wait for good development before tilting or spinning. Tilt or spin slow. I think people watch speeded up videos and think they need to go that fast.

There really is some great potential here. I bought a liter of AUS Floetrol for $50. A quart of Flood Penetrol (at my local Philadelphia Home Depot) is $9.98. The AUS Floetrol is great, but really cost-prohibitive for a lot of people. With this being a viable alternative, it could really allow artists to expand their repertoire of painting techniques.

It's great to see that you are testing alternatives to Floetrol for cell activation. Please keep at it as I am unable to get Floetrol of any kind or Penetrol in the African country where I currently live. The only option for cells that I have is silicone oil, which to be honest, I dislike using as it's often very low grade here and then takes a lot of cleaning to get it off the canvass. I love watching your experiments and hope that one day you will find a product that gives fabulous cells that I can actually find here 😆 I keep trying different things too but as of yet have had nothing good to report.

This is awesome! I’ve been using pre stain wood conditioner but these results are far better. Thank you for sharing this with us 😊🎨

Thanks for this video. I just spent over $55.00 for Aussie Floetrol yesterday online. Lowe's has this product Penetrol by Flood for $12.98. The description, I believe, reads 32oz but the picture shows the can\btl is less in grams for $12.98. But still, we only need drops. I had tried a test with M-1 paint additive from Sherwood Williams store, and Celltastic from Etsy. I was hoping the M-1 would do it. But no, it's quite a watery additive too. The Celltastic if used on a pallette knife works like Molly of Molly's Artistry does and you've shown here. For me, my stretching & tilting technique needs a lot of work to get those big spider web like cells I want. Again, thanx for doing and showing us this experiment.

MY GOODNESS! ONLY $55! I can't find it that cheap bc I'm paying more for S & H than the actual mini sized product! I will say this...Lowes has hiked the price of ALL these prices. FLO was $7.98 in NC; last month it jumped to $10.98. Fyi...check artists storefronts. It's still $7.98 p/qt. Although gallons are extinct in my state. I did find 1 Gallon sold on Amazon at $14.98 (price in store 2yrs ago) BUT it ship time is over a month! I'm a bit leary of that.

I think you just saved me a sh*tload of money! I live in the UK but am going to California next month to spend some time with my mom. While there, my mom and I plan to do an art pour together that she can hang in her bedroom. Obviously, I can't bring all my art products to the US in my suitcase, so we will have to buy all my products there in California. I've been agonizing over what to do about the Australian floetrol (short of spending a ton of money to buy it online ahead of time!). Thanks to your video, I think I'll just buy Penetrol at a local hardware store to get our beloved cells. Thank you so much!
