Frequently Asked Question

Yes — for painters who spend more than an hour at a time painting, a wet palette dramatically reduces paint waste and improves paint consistency. Most painters who try one consider it one of their best hobby purchases.
Most wet palettes use dedicated membrane paper or baking parchment. Dedicated wet palette paper from Army Painter and similar brands is optimised for hobby use and is more convenient than cutting baking parchment.
Saturate the sponge with water, lay it in the tray, place membrane paper on top, and dampen the paper lightly. Squeeze paint onto the membrane and it will stay workable for a full session. Store sealed between sessions.
