Does anyone here use Pro Acryl on a wet palette? I find that for me they turn into watery puddles after just a few minutes. Just curious how people who use pro acryl on a wet palette are setting them up.
#Pro Acryl on a wet palette

Totally normal experience for Pro-Acryl on a wet palette. It's better to use a dry palette, especially one with deep, narrow wells to keep moisture.

surely there is some amount of moisture in the sponge or a paper that will limit osmosis more that can find a happy medium

Monument Hobbies themselves says not to use on a wet palette.
You could use in a fidget popper.
Or add retarder.
Or use a slightly damp wet palette but not soaked (this is what I do).
But yea as Antinea said this is a known thing with PA

The room I paint in is at max 40% humidity, and often too low for the device to measure it, so I never have problems with it, and usually have to flood the wet palette for it to do much.

When you say slightly damp. you mean like wet the sponge, ring it out and and then use it from there?

You can make it work on a wet pallet, I use PA as my main paint. You just can't oversaturate the sponge.
A Masterson wet pallet will break the paint. Idk why
Redgrass and Game Envy pallets with their papers seems to work fine with PA. But a homemade one or a Masterson one with parchment over saturates the paint
A fidget popper works great for some things but you just have the well of paint, so it's harder to do blends without premixing like 4 or 5 different mixes. A dry pallet is what they recommend, but it's really hard to keep the paint from drying out

So I use masterson wet palette with the game envy pre-cut papers.

This works with PA fine?
Someone in the Monument Hobbies discord works as a brand ambassador for GE and said it was the paper, not the sponge, that made the difference

i can see that. if it lets less water through the paper. I should ammend it to say i just started using the paper. I had been using Sams Club parchment paper and it would turn into a watery mess in minutes when I set up the palette according to Vince V. So I am currently experimenting with the new paper and how wet the sponge needs to be. GE cuts them into several different sizes for different palettes.
