  • Wave Technique

Fixing a lumpy mix


A lumpy mix is a sign that your paint mix has:

  1. Not been mixed enough
  2. Has slightly dried if it was left out for a period of time

To fix is simple!

  1. Mix it again for longer and more thoroughly
  2. When leaving out paints cover them, to fix this issue just run it through a strainer or if its still not working, start again


Fixing a runny mix


A runny mix is a sign that you have added too much pouring medium/floetrol. So just add more paint and mix again!


Fixing a thick mix


A thick mix is a sign that you have too much paint added. Simply add more pouring medium/floetrol and mix again!
