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

Molds very easily.

Good: The wet palette sponge/paper work so incredibly well it has changed the way I paint forever. Not so good: The center brush holder plate sits very low in the bottom section which holds your wet palette. So if you want to close and leave your paints protected from dust, etc. They cant be in any kind of glob or pile, or else they get squished all over the bottom of the brush holder portion. You might think to leave the brush holder out, but the top slides off of the bottom without the center plate. Really surprising, since one of its main claims to fame is storing paints for hours/days. Im not working in a clean room. Also, you need to use an elastic band to hold everything together. This looks great, but is clumsy in practice. A clasp or snapping system seems the far better choice ergonomically. Conclusion: Frankly the sponges and papers work so well that they overcome the confusing container design for me, but being an expensive setup by an established brand it is surprising how poorly it seems to be designed.

The sponge and pallet papers are fine but the container does not seal so the sponge and your paint will dry out. Poor design. Ive replaced it with a plastic sandwich container.

This product has really helped me with improving my painting. Not only do I paint more often. I paint longer. I would recommend this to new and experienced painters

I have had this palette for a few months now, and it does an okay job for what I think it should be. However it doesnt keep the paint wet for more than a few days. The middle tray that holds the brushes seems to be bent in such a way that prevents it from closing correctly, which allows the paints to dry out quicker than advertised.

Item works exactly as described. Keeps paint useable for days. No more wasting model paint.

I wanted one, so I went to Amazon and bought one.

I like the concept of saving your unused paint for a later date, if you havent used all of it during a painting session. Compact design for portability is a nice benefit. Wetted pad aids in blending water-based paint and facilitates creating glazes when more transparent coats/layers of paint are required.

It absolutely keeps paint fresh for reuse and thereby saves money on paint, by not wasting what would normally dry out before it could be used.

Makes painting so much easier, especially custom colors. They keep forever.
