The Army Painter Hydropack Bundle Stay Wet Palette for Acrylic Painting - Acrylic Paint Palette, 50 Pcs Wet Palette Paper, and 2 Wet Pallet Sponges

I avoided buying a wet palette for a long time, I just printed them instead. I finally broke down when I saw the price and I grabbed one. I was worried about it being small. The XL doesn't disappoint in that arena. A very generous palette area is available and I like it. I definitely like the dry pallet included for using speed paints and washes, etc. 2 foams and 50 papers included was cool and they threw in a bottle of old AP Warpaints Brown. The old style warpaint. Brown. Weird choice, but I'll take it.

Very nice product! It retains the paint for much much longer than I thought and is very easy to use. This is my first wet pallete and I would recommend it!

First time using a wet palette and I’m already hooked 👍 works exactly how it says it’s supposed to.

Never received my bonus. I like it but it is really bulky the original one is more pack around than this one.

This makes painting minis a lot easier when the paint isn't drying out so quickly. Its compact enough to travel and or not take up too much table space while you are working. Strong plastic case, thick retaining band and great quality membranes and sheets.

Years later and I’m still using it. Best investment for wet palette

Having read the reviews for this product I think there are a few things that need to be covered. First, the intention of a wet palette like this is NOT to keep your paints fresh indefinitely. It is meant to give you the proper thinning of your paints as you apply them. It can also provide you a perfect area for dynamic color mixing. It will allow you to keep your custom mixes for a period of time with proper storage and care.The size is perfect, the included sponge and parchment paper work well to provide properly thinned paints and to preserve those paints over an extended painting session. If you are using the right paint it will keep them wet and workable for several days......IF you store it properly (lid held on with the elastic band in a cool place).Storing in my house, which I keep at 68 degrees the palette has retained moisture for 4+ days (by then my paints had separated but the palette was still good to go).The brush storage area is a nice bonus and works well with army painter brushes and has an area for normal round handle brushes as well. All in all it's a good package, yes you can accomplish the same thing with some parchment paper, paper towels, and any plastic container, but this is a neat clean package that stores well. It's worth the money to me.Ignore the people complaining about the sponge being folded in half for shipping. it has zero impact and you won't even notice it once you wet the sponge for use. Chalk it up to one of those things people complain about for no real reason.Pros:It does the job wellHas brush storage built inSolid construction that fits together wellIncludes two sponges and a lots of parchment paper (enough supplies for a LONG time)Will retain water and save paints overnight for several nights (though there are better wet palettes for 2x the price that can do it better)This is a sweet spot in value for the dollarCons:You can DIY something that will work every bit as well as this for less than 5 dollarsIt would not have been hard for them to add a rubber o-ring to the lid which would allow it to keep even more moisture for longer periods of timeThough it will stay wet for several days, most paints will suffer pigment separation after a few hours (blame the paint not the palette for that)
