What turned out good - which ones are rather rubbihs; which are good buys and which are significantly overpriced for what you get.

Lets pool our impressions on wet pallets so that those looking to buy instead of making their own ;or perhaps looking for an affordable gift, have ideas and some idea of what's worth it out there on the market. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10272186.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10272186.page GMT Let's Talk wet pallets

So I'm aware that there's general advice to make your own when it comes the these, however there are products out there on the market, some from kickstarters, some from general painting brands and others gamer focused. So I'm curious as to what wet pallets people here have chosen to use.

I'm curious as well, though I am a DIY wet palette user. Something would have to be significantly better to justify spending good money and getting locked into proprietary membranes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10272282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10272282.page GMT Let's Talk wet pallets
Lately though I've been looking into that everlasting wet palette that I keep seeing people use and I'm kind of curious as to what that's like. I see some people swear by it and the sponge they use looks like motorcycle helmet squeegee things I use for my helmet as it's great for retaining water. Not sure I'm in prepared to invest in one though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10272629.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10272629.page GMT Re:Let's Talk wet pallets this wet palette. It's faster and easier to use, and the paper goes all the way to the edge so you don't have that "paint runoff" effect.

Basically, it lets me be lazier and spend a bit more time painting. Other than that, it doesn't actually work all that much better for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10272785.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10272785.page GMT Let's Talk wet pallets http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273040.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273040.page GMT Let's Talk wet pallets
And no, distilled water does not prevent mold.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273064.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273064.page GMT Let's Talk wet pallets http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273122.page GMT Let's Talk wet pallets http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273165.page GMT Let's Talk wet pallets

My water supply here is treated sewage so I'm sure there's tons of organics in it. I've actually been to our sewage treatment plant here and seen the open aeration pits where gak-eating bacteria are skimmed off and it looks like a giant frothy milkshake.


Okay I guess YMMV, but clean water (bottled or otherwise) will suffice. It doesn't have to be distilled.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273348.page GMT Let's Talk wet pallets
I was also told you can adust the pH using a drop of brick cleaner (acid) or oven cleaner (basic) but wouldnt advise it unless you are very careful.. it may stop mold but the additives are potentially dangerous. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273597.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273597.page GMT Let's Talk wet pallets
I bought the everlasting wet palette from the kickstarter and it is pretty awesome - I don't use my DIY ones any more]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273635.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/768313/10273635.page GMT
