You have my attention! The Privateer Press wet palette is the best painting aide I've ever discovered, even with my meager skills, so I'd definitely consider this.

Never really been interested in wet palettes before, but this interests me.

Ooooooo thats interesting.

id love not to have to keep cutting out parchment paper.

i will need to check out the kickstarter once its up.

I'm interested too. Price will be a big factor.

A fancy version of a wet sponge in tupperware? Assuming it's priced reasonably I'd be in.

Yea, given the many tutorials available on Dakka about how to make your own wet pallet, I'm really not sure of the value here.

Yeah the price will be the big thing - running your own wet palette is an annoyance, but only a minor one.

Really interested in this! I hope the KS goes live soon.

The wavy brush holder sold me! Ive never used a wet palette before so now seems a good time to start.

I just like the idea of not having to go to the groceries and pick up more parchment. but im lazy

Oh question. how does it handle sparkly metallic paint. is the material absorbent? will i have to deal with the odd sparkles now and again?

I've had problems with my wet palette getting gross when I'd leave it shut and damp for days/weeks on end. So I'm not sure never drying out is really a feature.

Put a couple of old, copper, pennies under the sponge - it prevents the grossness.

Using distilled water in the wet palette will help prevent mold and mildew growing inside it too.

Interesting - am curious as to how/why that works? I'd be surprised if I had any pennies that old though.

Yeah, I always painted with bottled/filtered water.

I've used a bunch of different wet palettes. Most of them are subpar. This one looks pretty slick. The membrane they are using looks super easy to clean and paint stays usable much longer. I've used distilled water, tried the penny trick, and my palette still gets moldy. As long as this comes in under $20, I'm in.

Copper is a natural anti-microbial agent which has been used for such purposes for a long time. While this site has a vested interest in bigging up the effect of copper, an exploration of the mechanics involved can be read at: http://www.antimicrobialcopper.org/uk/how-it-works

The trick, as The Auld Grump mentioned, is that you need something with fairly high copper content to work. Pennies are really zinc with a thin coating of copper alloy put over top and thus aren't really good; there's not much copper for the bacteria to come into contact with. If you have old pennies (pre-1982 according to Google), you'll have better success as they're mainly copper. Absent any of those lying around, you could also try copper plates for etching, but those are radically more expensive than the few cents the "old penny" method would cost.

On the actual topic, as others have said if the price is right I might be in for this. Seems quite well-done versus cobbling something together.

You sure its not just black mold in the house

honeslty though im very curious about the membrane

its going to be worthless if metal flakes from something like vallejo air steel gets embedded in it.

Be the first to know when it launches ​on Kickstarter in Spring 2017

So this can be pretty much at any time during 2017 right? I live in Finland and spring here ended long ago. We are in Summer at the moment with Autumn starting in August and Winter starting in October.

I guess Spring in Australia starts in October or something.

I'll grant you there's not much time left, but the generally agreed upon date for the end of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere is June 21st this year which is somewhat unsurprisingly the Summer Solstice. While I'm curious if Finland has unilaterally decided to use different definitions of the seasons given their closeness to the pole, I'm skeptical that's any sort of official definition.

So they have 9 days to launch and still be in the Spring.

Hello there, The material is not absorbent but let the water go through it. I have tested our membrane with a lot of metallic paint and everything is ok. No sparkles left after a quick cleaning. In a few days, I will post a complete presentation of our membrane.

Hi, You don't have to worry about metal flakes from the vallejo range or any range actually. Nothing gets embedded in our membrane.

We are based in France, so yes spring ends June 21st. We wil make an announcement regarding our launch date before that date.

Hooray!

How is international shipping going to be?

Hello, Eu and US friendly for sure. We are still waiting for the final quotes. Since Everlasting wet palette is rather light, you can expect a very low shipping fee.

Very interested in this - any update on when the KS might happen?

Looks like we'll know more sometime between now and a week from now:

Lol. Well, I'm still here aren't I? I'm an artist and I used to do a lot of painting. Never found a wet palette I liked or that worked. I'm hoping this new membrane they came up with works.

September 1 - November 30.

Interested.

On Kickstarter at the end of August; projected price is 35€.
The video on their facebook is pretty impressive, it seems the "parchment paper" is very easy to clean: https://www.facebook.com/redgrassgames/videos/1453739721350546/?utm_source=Everlasting+Wet+Palette&utm_campaign=05c71489aa-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_15&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_4e5e732136-05c71489aa-68143245

Just got an email on this. KS launches on August 29th. $40. I think it's a pass for me. More than I'm willing to spend.
