I use Reynolds standard parchment paper on a "Sham-Wow" towel and my paints last for weeks if I put the lid on once I'm done painting... totally serious.

The only drawback to using the Sham-Wow is that it will literally stay moist so long that it will get gross and mildewy if you don't wash them once in a while.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715066/9150327.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715066/9150327.page GMT masterson sta-wet handy palette http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715066/9150392.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715066/9150392.page GMT masterson sta-wet handy palette

I dunno, I get plenty of time to work with mine, but I also don't put a ton of paint on the palette. My 'time to work' is more limited by running out of paint

Are you properly soaking both the sponge and the paper for quite a while? It says 15 minutes but I tend to set em both in water and forget about em for a good while. Then I drain the water out but not 100%, I still leave it good and soppy. It'll diffuse the first few paints a little at the edges but not really that badly and you need to thin them anyways.

Anyways, I dunno, that's all I can think of off hand.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715066/9150655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715066/9150655.page GMT masterson sta-wet handy palette http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715066/9150769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715066/9150769.page GMT masterson sta-wet handy palette

Did you boil the paper first? The wet palettes you get in art supply shops use a paper that has to be heated to make it porous; I usually submerge mine in water and microwave it in a Pyrex dish for about 10 minutes.

The Masterson paper doesn't need to be boiled.
