MastersonSta-Wet Premier Palette Airtight Paint Palette Keeps Paint Fresh for Days 12 x 16 Inches, Made in USA

So glad I found this product,I can leave paint on the palette knowing I can come back tomorrow,and know it’s still usable. I wasted so much paint before.Highly recommended.*****

Does what it says, I am able to use my acrylic paints for days on end. Worth the wait took weeks to arriveIt’s large so more suitable for use at home, it’s great not to have to keep mixing paints.

The large surface provides plenty of space for paint mixing and the paint stays wet and useable for days. The pallette papers are re-usable. I was initially dissapointed how few papers there were in the kit, but they can be cleaned and re-used more than once ( dont know yet how many timees they can be re-used).My biggest complaint is the top, it is formed of a softer plastic than the base and is intended 'clip' over a ridge around the edge of the base to provide a seal. The problem is it is so tight I had trouble opening and closing it and it was painfull on the hands. ( I am a retired manual worker, my hands are used to hard work, but his lid was difficult) I suppose it may ease with use, but in my view, it is way too tight as delivered.

I was a bit dubious regards keeping my acrylics wet for longer but it actually does. It also keeps them in usable state for another day...in fact I have had my paints in the container for over three weeks in a cool area and they are still good to go. However I wouldn't recommend doing this if its warm as they would start to mould.A bit expensive considering its just a large plastic box with a sealed lid....the 'sponge' like material that you wet and lay the pallet paper on is a cellulose sponge like the ones used for washing up so I made a mini pallette out of said washing cloth and plastic food storage container with a piece of the paper for travelling/on plein air painting, as the larger palette is a bit cumbersome. The paper is robust and I have had up to 10 painting sessions out of it by scraping off old paint and washing in the sink as recommended, so economical in that respect and the box is robust.

This is not a cheap item, but when you look at (and experience as I have) other, cheaper offerings, you realize that the Mastersons palettes are the only ones worth buying. Vastly superior to the others, they work without the paint going runny, they are robust, watertight, etc., etc. No comparison. Please invest the extra few quid. You won't regret it.

purchased this palette earlier this year and am delighted with the size and use it mainly at home working with acrylics or oils.One problem is that I am now trying to purchase the sta-wet paper for going over the yellow sponge but cannot find it at Amazon for the size that I need - which is 16 inches x 12 inches - very disappointing as it is a lot of money to buy the palette and now find the insert sheets are of different sizes. Can anyone help and let me know where I can purchase 16 inches x 12 inches insert palette paper ??

A little too large and unwieldy. Took up most of the workspace. Won't take it travelling due to the size. Works well though and just use plain ordinary grease proof paper.

It works well as a wet palette. It's a lot bigger than I probably needed and definitely more of an on-the-table than in-the-hand. The top is difficult to get on and off and fully sealed.
