Paint Flow Aid can also help bring your forgotten paints back to life.
Pulled out an old paint-by-number kit and found some of the paint pods have dried out? Or maybe one got left open overnight by accident? Paint Flow Aid can help.
This acrylic flow aid can reconstitute thickened paint, bringing it back to a smoother, more workable consistency so it's easier to load your brush and get painting again.
How to Use: (to attempt reconstitution)
- Open the dried or thickened paint pod.
- Add a small amount of Flow Aid to the paint.
- Mix thoroughly with a toothpick, brush handle, or other small tool, working the Flow Aid all the way through.
- Keep adding small amounts, mixing well each time, until the paint feels smooth and brush-ready.
- If needed, let it sit a few minutes, then stir again before you start painting.
A little goes a long way. Start small, you can always add more, but it's hard to undo paint that's too diluted.
Perfect For
- 🖌️ Paint that's gone thick or gummy
- 🎨 Pods that got left open by accident
- 🕰️ Kits that have been sitting around for months
- ✨ Bringing older paint back to a smooth, usable consistency
- 💕 Giving your unfinished kits a second shot
Please note: Flow Aid works best on paint that's thickened but still somewhat workable. Paint that's dried completely solid probably won't come back.
