Hi. I have been looking at tutorials online to make a wet palette, but lots of them give conflicting advice, or use American terms for what paper to use.

I have these papers at home:
Morrisons Greaseproof Paper
Bacofoil Non-Stick Parchment

Are either of these any good? I've found that the Morrisons paper still seems to dry out the paint after a day or so. Could you recommend a more suitable paper that I can buy in the UK?

Just go to the local supermarket and pick uo some baking paper its great. I use a small takeaway tray tissue in the bottom and cut tha baking paper to fit. Its really useful. Hope this helps.

the Bacofoil non-stick parchment paper is the paper you need.

Do you recommend any way to prepare the paper before use? I've heard of soaking it thoroughly both sides, and even using boiling water.
The Bacofoil is also non-stick on both sides (according to the box), would that make a difference?
