I love your work. I have spent so much money on product while trying to master acrylic pouring. I like that you measure and provide great information. I stopped buying so many things I don't need. My issue was consistency. One thing I would like to share; I'm in the US. We can get Josonia varnish on Amazon and the Polycrylic from Amazon or any local hardware store, and Behr from Lowes Hardware. The Polycrylic is like water and the Josonia varnish much thinker. This was throwing my formula off for pigments. I only use the Polycrylic for wetting the pigments now or for all thinning purposes instead of water. I found that water breaks my composition down during spinning. Long story short for the US, the Behr 8300 and the Josonia varnish are a perfect match, for a pouring medium. Thin as needed with the Polycrylic works like a charm. thank for leading me in the right direction.

Thanks for sharing.

[@kymskiver8862]

A tip about using paint cans. If you hammer a nail into the 'ditch' of the can making holes, then the paint will run back into the can after pouring. When you put the lid back on it wont splatter. :) Excellent video Julie

[@dorianesalem8076]

I had to read your comment couple of times to picture it in my head. But what a genius hint! Thanks a bunch!

[@rachelgamperle1293]

Thank you for making it so clear. You are a great teacher

[@k.mayabstractpointalism9962]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I appreciate the time you took to help those of us who are struggling to get the best recipe here in the USA. Sadly I ran out of the Behr deep base, so I purchased Valspar deep base. If you or anyone else reading this comment have any idea if this will work as well as the Behr, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate the help. 😉 😊

[@lyndellyounger6969]

Honestly, this was the most helpful video that I found when I needed it, im in Melbourne so needed our available ingredients too, and it’s your exact recipe that I continue to follow and it’s always worked a treat for me! So I really really appreciated all the effort you went to in explaining it step-by-step so I could get it right, so better late than never… but thanks heaps Julie you’re a legend 🎉❤

[@Jentalks380]

So helpful Julie. Thank you. They doesn't appear to be much information for the Australians in regards to paint recipes and pms so I really appreciate it.

[@pamelaneibuhr6959]

You should do the neon color too

[@Shari311]

Julie, thank you so much. You’re excellent at explaining how to mix pigments for blooms. I can’t wait to try it myself!

Fantastic video

[@lindabrooks5257]

Thank you so much for your help I had no idea how to mix these after buying them big hugs to ya Honey

[@poetryandpaints1673]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your experiments. I'm in the UK so struggle to get ingredients but what watching this confirmed for me is that I need to find a thicker PM to use with piggies for blooms. Super helpful. Also... I'm going to invest in some measuring spoons because I am currently in the 'eyeball it and hope' camp and it's not working.

[@rosemaryrosemaryw8117]

Thanks - it’s was a help.

You should try Mad Micas pigments. They are absolutely gorgeous and I would love to see what you could make with them!

[@julieashton8877]

Thank you, Julie!!

[@lyndellyounger6969]

Oh!! Actually I meant to ask you!! I recently discovered that they’ve discontinued that Taubman’s untinted paint we use, and luckily I haven’t run out of mine yet… but have you got any idea about what we’re supposed to replace it with? No pressure, but I’m relying on you LOL 😉

[@pdxwildchildroberts5586]

USA here 💜thank you so much for simplifying the pigment mixing process 👍..my question is tho..can this recipe also be used other pours❓or JUST the "bloom" technique..only ❓

[@galady8632]

Both helpful and fun. Thank you!

[@leoniedeeker6601]

I hope you can help. I can only find the taubmans doors and trims in white, not neutral. Is this the same? Love your videos too!

[@traceybettens6442]

Hi Julie, i was just wondering if you have come up with a new pm mixture now we cant get the Taubman's paint anymore.

[@leoniedeeker6601]

Thanks for this video! Very very helpful. Can you use that pouring medium to mix with regular acrylic paints?😊

[@CTJudy]

Thank you for the very easy to follow and understand instructions on how to mix pigments. I have a question about the base paint. I have a different brand (I have Glidden) Can I still use it? It is untinted and high gloss.

[@1love-1light]

Thanks ✨💖✨

[@cynthiawilson8294]

Cool

[@TheWhidster]

Thanks Julie. Very helpful. Do you have a tutorial on the American recipe for the cell activator?

[@laurastoneking6278]

Thank you for sharing your recipes for TLP. Did you have a Thursday September 16th video? I thought you did. I got to tired and fell asleep thought I would watch it today Friday September 17th. I can't find it at all.

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

I did a bloom about a week ago

[@laurastoneking6278]

@@PouringYourHeartOut thank you for letting me know. I love your videos. Have a great weekend. 😊❤

[@sun018]

Great video thank you very much 😍 do you know what pouring medium paints to get if in Europe? I'm in Ireland 🙂🍀

[@oussamaelmanaa6122]

really im in love with your videos you are amazing but im wondering what isthe easy coat and gloss varnish or we use them for what in daily life ?? because im from morocco

[@jaimeeAUS]

Hi Julie, love your videos and hearing our good old Aussie accent! I ordered the minwax on Amazon and I noticed in your tutorial you said that people in the US can use Behr with Jo Sonja’s, but can we in Aus use the minwax with taubmans?? Thank you for this video 🥰

[@lindatscott]

What do I use for the pillow in America? Thankyou

[@liletteautrey8481]

For how long can you keep your prepared TLP to be used , please. Will it be the same ?

[@margaritaphobe]

OMG! Thank you Julie, I have just done the Shelee art Bloom course, this video has helped me by solidifying all the information from Shelees course. I am very confused with what the best colours would be to start with, when placing my order. Can you offer me any guidance with this? Sooo many beautiful pigment, too many choices 🤣🙏🙏🙏 thank you Julie, I love your videos and I always eagerly await the new ones ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

Have a look at google colour palettes

[@margaritaphobe]

Thank you Julie, I will do that. I sincerely appreciate your taking the time to reply 🙏♥️

[@firestormgirl1962]

I don't have a scale. Can you tell us how many teaspoons or table spoon to make up the PM?

[@victoria1687]

Don't think we have any of those in the UK.. anyone have an idea what could be a substitute?

[@babybear4524]

Love how organized and neat you are. I need to measure so I appreciate you showing us how. When you said that a tbs of the australian product can be used to thicken the mixture,what would be the American product to use for that? Is it the Behr or the Polyacrylic? Does this also apply to tube paint mixtures? Also do you have a different video which contains how you mix your tube paints and cell activator? I dont know how to locate it. Thank you Julie for your fun happy attitude and your amazing talent.

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

Behr is the one used to thicken

[@user-ep2op9pt4b]

Мне очень нравится все что Вы делаете. Скажите пожалуйста, такие молды под кристаллы, Вы делаете сами?

[@wysgyeman]

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you, Julie! Take care and stay safe!

[@jennymortimer4622]

as a beginner i bought some cheap pigments to try but after standing they separate and become flaky.does it depend on the quality of pigments.

[@nursesandmidwivesagainstbu603]

What is the recipe for the cell activator please?

[@electricjoshaloo]

Can you use this PM for other types of pours like flip cups or swipes? Also, could you add silicone to it for extra cells? Thank you.

[@laurasartroom5308]

Thanks Julie- can you store the cell activator for long?
