The Army Painter Hydropack Bundle Stay Wet Palette for Acrylic Painting - Acrylic Paint Palette, 50 Pcs Wet Palette Paper, and 2 Wet Pallet Sponges

Having read the reviews for this product I think there are a few things that need to be covered. First, the intention of a wet palette like this is NOT to keep your paints fresh indefinitely. It is meant to give you the proper thinning of your paints as you apply them. It can also provide you a perfect area for dynamic color mixing. It will allow you to keep your custom mixes for a period of time with proper storage and care. The size is perfect, the included sponge and parchment paper work well to provide properly thinned paints and to preserve those paints over an extended painting session. If you are using the right paint it will keep them wet and workable for several days......IF you store it properly (lid held on with the elastic band in a cool place). Storing in my house, which I keep at 68 degrees the palette has retained moisture for 4+ days (by then my paints had separated but the palette was still good to go). The brush storage area is a nice bonus and works well with army painter brushes and has an area for normal round handle brushes as well. All in all its a good package, yes you can accomplish the same thing with some parchment paper, paper towels, and any plastic container, but this is a neat clean package that stores well. Its worth the money to me. Ignore the people complaining about the sponge being folded in half for shipping. it has zero impact and you wont even notice it once you wet the sponge for use. Chalk it up to one of those things people complain about for no real reason. Pros: It does the job well Has brush storage built in Solid construction that fits together well Includes two sponges and a lots of parchment paper (enough supplies for a LONG time) Will retain water and save paints overnight for several nights (though there are better wet palettes for 2x the price that can do it better) This is a sweet spot in value for the dollar Cons: You can DIY something that will work every bit as well as this for less than 5 dollars It would not have been hard for them to add a rubber o-ring to the lid which would allow it to keep even more moisture for longer periods of time Though it will stay wet for several days, most paints will suffer pigment separation after a few hours (blame the paint not the palette for that)

Had this product recommended to me in a painters class. Turned out to be a great buy. Having all of the extra papers and extra sponge is amazing as well.

I use it all the time - it does what it is supposed to - the papers dry super fast and sponges stop working eventually - but its still an ok product :)

Im not really taken with this thing. At first I thought it was very cool, but the sponge sucks, the papers do not wick well, and paints still dry out on the palette if you keep going for too long. There are much better wet palette kits for much less... Including just making your own.

It kinda small and doesnt seem to keep my paints wet for that long. The paintbrush holder is a bit too short for standard brushes, and they dont hold onto the brushes at all.

... is good!

I just started in the hobby so this was great to have EVERYTHING in one place! I have attempted to make my own with no success. This has everything you need to start RIGHT NOW you have to keep it level or the paint will slide and the water can drip from where the two parts join... But for my desk between sessions it is perfect!

This is a great little wet palette for traveling. I’m very messy with my painting, so I use a larger one at my painting table. I like the included brush holder and strap to hold it all together. The lid does not fasten down on its own and it doesn’t appear to be airtight. It’s a great little wet palette though.

Great investment! Perfecr for keeping your paints moist while you paint for an extended period. Great size allows for mixing multiple times.

My SO got this for painting his 40K miniatures. He just brought it to me last night after a 2 week test where he left it in a drawer and it was still wet. He was stoked and very impressed. So if youre into painting and looking to not waste your expensive paints, this is perfect.
