				<title>Quick question about making a wet palette</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I've read how you make a wet palette, but there's a couple of things I don't quite get.  Should the water come over the top of the sponge?  Or should it come about half way up the side of the sponge?  Should the baking paper on the top be wet on it's underside and thus 'stuck' down to the sponge with water?<br /> <br /> Thanks!  <img src="/s/i/a/3280d57d913d8178fb42a55db16d1e89.gif" border="0"> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Yes, that's what I thought, but when you pour the water into the container, how much water should you put in?]]></description>

				<title>Quick question about making a wet palette</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ In my experience, you don't want the water to touch the paper. I usually just do my a small way up the sponge. The "wick" effect will pull water from the bottom to the top of the sponge as the water dries from the top.]]></description>

				<title>Quick question about making a wet palette</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ You can make a really cheap wet palette by picking up a snap lid container. I use one intended for sandwiches so it is shallow. I use a thin flat sponge that covers the entire bottom of the container. I soak the sponge then ring it out then pour the water in the center of the sponge slowly letting it fill until the water level is about 3/4 of the depth of the sponge. Then I cut a piece of kitchen paper, also called Parchment paper. You can also use sheets of artist vellum, but parchment paper is cheaper. ]]></description>

				<title>Re:Quick question about making a wet palette</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ You know, if people could post pictures of wet pallettes they've used succesfully it would be a great help, I'm still lost on the whole wet pallette idea, ut would really like to give it a go as when blending paints for a squad of orks, it's a bugger to get to the 30th Ork without suffering dry paint syndrome first.  <img src="/s/i/a/813fd55ae283423385e2697b5fbde8c7.gif" border="0"> <br /> <br /> Many thanks in advance  <img src="/s/i/a/5d13fa41280d6fdef786d41bc175d3f6.gif" border="0"> ]]></description>

				<title>Re:Quick question about making a wet palette</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Here are mine. As Promethean suggests a snap top container for sandwiches is great.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/34027-Wet%20Pallet.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/5/23/34027_sm-Wet%20Pallet.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/34028-Wet%20Pallet%20Open.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/5/23/34028_sm-Wet%20Pallet%20Open.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> Oh and they stack too, an added bonus.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/34029-Wet%20Pallet%20Stacked.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/5/23/34029_sm-Wet%20Pallet%20Stacked.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> Hope this helps. <br /> <br /> As you can see I have the water just below the top of the sponge. With the snap top being virtually airtight, the paint will stay liquid in these things for anything up to a week, at least that's as long as I've needed it to so far.<br /> <br /> ]]></description>
