That really seems to stick the paper down nicely and so far so good. Also the directions say to put the paper down one side, then flip it over which creates a curl in the paper, then counteracts it. So far I've not seen it curl back the other way.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196030911965837980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818493363650318866.post-62751057879476697402010-01-04T02:55:12.574-05:002010-01-04T02:55:12.574-05:00I bought one of these from Mind Games in Melbourne...I bought one of these from Mind Games in Melbourne, Australia, its around $30AUD I believe, and in all honesty, its brilliant.

If you are not going to be using your wet pallet for a while, but still want the paint to keep, try sticking it in the fridge. <br /><br />While this may cause some funny things (slight discoloration of some pigments) it keeps the paint for much longer than normal. <br /><br />As always your mileage may vary.<br /><br />Good luck,<br />Happy PaintingBill Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205842386449694975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818493363650318866.post-51967156633180646182010-01-01T17:27:15.827-05:002010-01-01T17:27:15.827-05:00I use the same wet pallet at NC and i don't ha...I use the same wet pallet at NC and i don't have any problems with curling. Also the times i've found my wet pallet paper to curl is when the paper or pad isn't moist enough. <br />Make sure you soak your paper in warm-hot water for a few minutes before adding it to your wet pallet. I like my paper to be semi translucent. (although some brands don't do that)<br />I also make a mess of my wet pallet and change paper out often as well as clean the sponge out often. <br /><br />http://www.utrechtart.com/dsp_view_product.cfm?item=41057<br /><br />http://www.utrechtart.com/dsp_view_product.cfm?item=41056Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876777361873801401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818493363650318866.post-67143023181148878862009-12-31T20:55:06.357-05:002009-12-31T20:55:06.357-05:00Which brand? curious now.Which brand? curious now.Dameon Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04510724407542214221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818493363650318866.post-54032681786556343532009-12-31T20:28:39.314-05:002009-12-31T20:28:39.314-05:00I use another brand of wet palette, and I think it...I use another brand of wet palette, and I think it's in the paper...

I just use a dropper bottle to add some clean water to the sides of the foam and it works pretty well.<br /><br />For $12 - $20 it does a decient job!Dameon Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04510724407542214221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818493363650318866.post-89190984767176988702009-12-31T10:58:13.740-05:002009-12-31T10:58:13.740-05:00I've been looking for something like this for ...I've been looking for something like this for a while.
