100% Silicone Oil

Background

Many traditional Acrylic Pouring techniques use a cell forming chemical to generate cells. Traditional techniques include flip cup pours, straight pours, dirty pours, puddle pours, ring pours, open cup pours, kiss pours, string and chain pull pours, split cup pours, swipes, Dutch pours and others. There are numerous variations of these techniques, many of which have their own names. To form cells in most of these techniques, add a little Silicone Oil or Turbo Cell to some or all of the colours after mixing the paints with our Original Flow Control. 

About Silicone Oil and how to use it

Our Silicone Oil is 100% pure which ensures that you don’t add any other unwanted chemicals into your art.  Three drops of Silicone oil added to 40ml of the Paint / Flow Control mix will generate cells. Add Silicone Oil after mixing the paint well with Flow Control. Once the paint flow (also referred to as thickness or consistency) is correct then added Silicone Oil to some or all of the colours used in the pour. Don’t stir in the Silicone Oil, just give it a quick swirl.

The surface of the dried art will have to be cleaned to remove oily residue before applying any subsequent topcoat.
