In this video I’m testing out the US Floetrol with Amsterdam paint only as a cell activator. I got the idea from watching a video by Lisa Marvin where she tried it and was pretty successful. I wanted to up the ratios even more and push it to see if that helped with the results. I hope this video is helpful and inspiring for you and you enjoy watching this half as much as I enjoyed creating it! 😊 Thanks so much for watching! ❤️❤️
A lot of what you see being created on my channel when ready will end up in my Etsy store. Some pieces if they translate well to digital will also make it to my RedBubble and Society6 shops so if you see a design you like please check out my links below.👇🏻😊💜

I went to the Flood web site and asked them through customer service via email what the difference was between Aussie and US floetrol. Here is the answer they sent, and they don’t say they’re the same. “Thank you for contacting PPG. Australian Floetrol is based on the US formula but they use their own resins based on the country's VOC restrictions. “ Just FYI for anyone who wanted to know.
Thanks so much for posting this here Carole! I’ve pinned your comment so it’s the first everyone sees, hope you don’t mind 🥰💜
So there is some kind of resin it. Interesting.
Of course I don’t mind. It’s been a little over 6 months since I wrote to them so I couldn’t remember exactly how they put it. Thanks you for putting their exact words here.
Minwax pre stain wood conditioner added to Canadian or American Floetrol turns it to Aussie Floetrol. Its in a red can. 3 drops of minwax to one ounce of Floetrol.
@@teresaroper9993 I don't see how that could be unless there's a water based Minwax wood conditioner (which there may be). I say that because Floetrol is an additive for latex paints and no way any oil based product could be in there for that.
BTW, the Floetrol people must have really been scratching their heads when their product started being used in art, lol. Especially because the ratios that pour painters use are far beyond what is recommended in latex paint (maximum 20%). Same for the treadmill silicone manufacturers.
Excellent video !! Molly from Molly’s Artistry did this a year ago with great success too!
Thank you so much Karen! Oooh I’m going to have to go find her video and check it out! 😃🤗💜
Day late, but, Jody, you have made more sense than anyone else I e watched. Thank you. I am so new to this, wondered why I was failing at blooms and swipes.🤗🥰😵💫
I’m so glad I’ve been able to help Georgann. It can be tricky for sure but eventually it clicks and your like oooohhh that’s it! 💜💜
Been watching tons of bloom videos, some from individuals who are to hard to follow. They say the proof is in the pudding and your work is some of the best, as well as your no nonsense approach to schooling us. You seem well organized, not hunting for something during your video. I really, really appreciate the time and care you've put into producing these videos as well as your consistency. Love to see more of your lovely tutorials. I also like that you don't overshadow these videos with loud music, just lots of data. So anyway, thank you very much.
Hey, thanks for your contributions. I just wanted to point out, though: Amsterdam paint (at least their Titanium White, & I’d guess others with a similar density work similarly, but certainly I’ve seen numerous tests with the Titanium White) is very commonly used/sought after in the acrylic pouring world precisely because Amsterdam Titanium White can be used as an extremely effective cell activator without any kind of floetrol.
The good tests I’ve seen (I think Gee Pours & LeftBrainedArtist do some of the most rigorous, but I haven’t delved into all of ShelleyArt’s testing vids- I’m sure they’re great too) used Amsterdam Titanium White with just water to thin to an optimal consistency [the exact thickness of which I’m sure depends relative to the viscosity/thickness of your other paints]. In fact, the more I’ve read up about it & listened to RUclips videos like Gee Pours, the more I’ve found that it seems as if a lot of pour artists who know a lot & have a lot of experience in this medium/field seem to swear by Amsterdam Titanium White as one of, if not THE best option for a cell activator. I don’t know whether an opaque Amsterdam black holds up as anywhere near as effective for this purpose, so maybe if you want black or other colors or lacing/webbing between your cells, you’re still better off using an [ideally Australian] floetrol-heavy mixture with a bit of some other paint for pigment, but at least when it comes to white cell activators, Amsterdam Titanium White seems to be at or near the top of the list, even just with the right concentration of water mixed in. If anything, while maybe a little Aussie floetrol would make it even better (not sure I’ve seen that tested), US floetrol, being so far from ideal, might actually just be watering down the effectiveness of the Amsterdam white… Although I supposed if someone has some US floetrol you just want to use up, it’s a way of getting good, closer to Aussie floetrol quality results while still using it up (just make sure to strain it, as you said)… But it also runs the risk of being a waste of Amsterdam Titanium White, & lowering the quality from what it would be with it alone (so I’d go easy on the Amsterdam if you do this & have a very limited supply).
Anyway, that’s not to say it invalidates your recipe by any means- if it works then it works, & US floetrol isn’t exactly hard to come by, so it’s good to know it’s an option.
However, as far as a US floetrol experiment/test is concerned, it doesn’t really tell you/us anything about the viability of US floetrol itself as a cell activator, because of course if you mix pretty much any fluid with an extremely effective cell activator like their Titanium White (even just water, but also rubbing alcohol, pouring medium, etc.) in a viable proportion that doesn’t ruin the better cell activator, it’s still going to produce impressive cells, regardless of how much or little the worse constituent component contributes- as is proven by the fact that Amsterdam Titanium White & plain old water works extremely well, whereas water on its own generally won’t contribute to producing any cells. That is, unless there’s an oil present, such that cells can be produced by the repulsion & separation of oil & water-based solutions, as in the silicon oil method, rather than by the Rayleigh Instabikity effect produced by differing densities of fluids, like how floetrol & Amsterdam white both work, creating variation among the densities of the different paints]. Anyway, that’s my impression! Hope any of that is helpful. I’d be fascinated to see you compare Amsterdam Titanium White mixed with various fluids in various proportions, along with US vs Aussie floetrol in varying proportions. For instance, Amsterdam white & water in a 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 ratio (I don’t know how high or in what increments it’d make the most sense to go), but then the same with MinWax, the same with each floetrol, & really get to the bottom of what are viable & what are optimal options for cell activation.
Thank you for doing the experiments! Aus Flotrol is crazy to get. Tiny bottle is only 17$ USD but shipping is almost $70! You've made my day. Thanks for always testing and experimenting and then sharing to the rest of the community. 😁✌❤
You are very welcome Sara, I love to experiment and I have gallons of the US floetrol myself. The AUS floetrol for a liter I get for about $60-70 including shipping from Wholesale Paint but The Fluid Art Company will carry it soon too and they are stateside .. if you ever want to try it 😉 .. but I’m really liking what I see with the US floetrol now too 😃🤗💜
I’m just saying that it will send it responses are the ingredients are not the same. Well if that is the case I don’t think it’s mine and breakdown the Aussie formula and use the same ingredients? Unless they already have and there in lies in history that we all refer to
😳😧😵💫
TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!! I can hardly wait to try this method - I am new and I am still having the little buggies in my tummy - Thank you for your knowledge
You are so much fun to follow. It makes me laugh when you laugh. It’s obvious that you just love what you do. Thanks for the excellent explanation of what you are doing and how you do it. You’re the best! Paint on sister!❤️
I miss you Jodie ❤I remember this one when you actually did it You still have people who are watching you.. Please come back 🙏I hope all is well with you
Jodie, this is a terrific video and it's really wonderful news that we can use our local US Floetrol to achieve - hopefully - equally beautiful cells and results as you got here. Amazing and thank you so much for your experimentation, which helps us all so much!
You’re so welcome, Kimberly 🤗 I was shocked when I was testing it off camera and I still get that holy cow feeling when I use it like wait what?! It can be a little finicky but totally can work! Have fun with it! 😃💜💜
THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES.
I HAVE US FLOETROL, A GALLON AND NOW I HAVE THE RECIPE.
HUGE DIFFERENCE ADDING 10TSP TO ONE PAINT TSP!!!
THANK YOU 🎉
Thank you so very much for your hard work and experiment. I’m trying this tonight.
Is your pillow paint colored and how do you mix your paint colors? I really enjoy your videos and so appreciate the cell activator info.
No pillow is just standard white off the shelf. I have a playlist of different mixing videos if you want to check that out on my channel
Hmmm, this almost solidifies my theory that the difference between the two is that the Australian version is just super concentrated. I've done quite a bit of research and testing as well and thought it might be a ptfd lube in the aussie stuff, but perhaps it's just super concentrated which is why it sells for so much more. A mystery we may never know! 😂
Nice work Jodie! Thank you!
I’m still super curious about the difference myself! I’m glad I’m getting the US floetrol to work but I still want to figure this out haha! Someone mentioned that the labels the US floetrol says for latex paint and the AUS floetrol says for acrylic paint. They both totally want to make cells just a little differently. Oh well, as you said it may be a mystery we may never know .. but I’m not done trying 🤣🤣 .. thanks so much Diane! 🤗💜💜
Oh man Jodie! You made me go back to my notes and all the product data sheets and msds for the US, oz, & UK flood products and what I gather is this.. So they each uses a vinyl acrylic copolymer emulsion, just like what's used in flat through semi gloss paints.
US lists it as a vinyl acetate/butyl acrylate copolymer emulsion but there are many manufacturers of these polymers/copolymers, so even though they might be using the same "compound", the ingredients are coming from different suppliers, different countries, etc..
If you look up different vinyl acrylic emulsions, you'll see that have different viscosity, specific gravity, etc..
I think the difference in the aussie and us stuff must be due to the SG and viscosity difference, which is why it takes much more us floe to reach the power of the aussie floe, because aussie is thinner (bigger cells)...
Have you ever used a paint sprayer.. They give you this type of funnel on a hook to test the viscosity of your paint after thinning. Have you done a drip test which both floes side by side? In guessing Ozzie floe drips faster... I'm supposed to be working from home right now ha ha but later tonight or tomorrow, I'll give it a shot.. It's probably "that simple".
Sorry if that wasn't in English, I kind of rushed it while I'm "working"! 😂
@@MyMojosRisin No, no this is so awesome, Diane, and totally makes sense! I had a hunch that this might be the case and you just confirmed it 😃😃 .. that’s why the flood company says no it’s the same because the ingredients may be but different manufacturers of it, TOTALLY, makes sense! Ha! You cracked it girl 🤗💜
I really went at it hard for a while! I drove myself nuts trying to find the big secret ingredient! 😂 I've got a feeling that a little extra us floe plus a little H20 will get it to the same velocity as the aussie stuff. It was pretty interesting research but there are so many variables at play.. Temp being a big one..
Anywho, fb has me in jail for 15 more days of my 30 day sentence so I'm going through some sort of FOMO not being able to comment or like anything in Shelee's group! 😂 😂 😂 Thank God for RUclips and paint to keep me busy!
Can I send you a fb message later? They haven't shut me up there yet lol
@@MyMojosRisin I was also wondering if adding a little water would help more. I don’t like adding water period but I know Amsterdam works well with water so I may. Temp is totally another variable! Sure, totally message me on fb whenever. Sometimes I can’t get back right away but I certainly will! 😃
Thank you so much for all your info, I hve learned so much from you videos. And your work is beautiful 😍 ❤ 🎉
Just love your tenacity! Also your willingness to spend your money on materials to experiment. I taught jewelry with a new material which WAS fine silver particles which were used mixed with a binder to create a silver clay. When fired in a kiln all the binder burned out and left a silver piece of jewelry. It was a period which required constant experimentation and reinvention of suitable tools. Money, money, money but very rewarding. That’s what you are doing for the painting world. It’s a bunch of work and loads of money. We did it because we loved making silver jewelry and loved passing on the knowledge. So thank you for doing this so faithfully for the paint pouring community. Good on you! THANKS
Haha! You hit the nail on the head, Marlynda, I may have a small fortune in my studio but it’s so worth it and I just love doing it period! I’m so glad it helps everyone 😃🤗💜
Did she say she uses house paint as the pillow. Did i miss her saying what it's mixed in some ratio with something else?
I've watched a hundred videos like this. Phenomenal work btw. But not one so far has described a full description of what I feel is necessary knowledge. Like fluid dynamics, science behind it, and always seems to leave out at least one important bit of info that when i get a certain point I'm like 'wait. I don't know what's happening here.'.
It's all good I guess. I mean maybe they're making a living this way or maybe a lot of these videos are geared more towards people that already know all that stuff. Every art practice is a little vexing at first. But it took me a decade to teach myself to become a professional gemstone artist. Because people that I reached out to would only give me bits and pieces of information. It was a competition thing you know. But since then it's been 25 years and because of that I have helped people in-depth with every last tiny detail and consideration in conversation or over the internet for free. Because my experience was like I said so vexxing. I promise when I understand this I'll do the same thing.
Again, mind blowing work! I love Howie you seem so genuinely mind-blown and joyful at what you're doing. I feel that way when I create good stuff too. That's The payoff for all the hard work experimentation learning etc. Beautiful!
Amen, For some tutorials, the person asks a question and is purposefully either sent down the wrong path or not answered at all. String art tutorials are famous for this. This lady, does not appear to want to participate in any of that. Painted dreamer is pretty straightforward and strikes me as having some science education behind her. And the reason your not getting a science tutorial behind most of these tutorials is they don't know the science behind it.
@@janiceveline3681 or maybe they know in some way more experiential they either can't put into words or don't even know they should. I'm a very logical thinker and am only intuitive once I learn a thing so that it's part of me. Until i understan.
This is something that inspires me. If i become expert at this, same as i am with gemstone cutting, I'll make a short series of videos detailing all the things we feel are left out. I've done this numerous times with other gemstone carvers in long conversations and believe I've saved them years of time that i spent figuring things out for myself.
I was raised in classical music performance. It's an unspoken expectation that a as master of playing that you take a student. One at minimum and show them everything possible so that they'll be well able to contribute to the world of art and music optimally. I fully agree with that.
Btw how are your paintings coming out? Satisfied at all? I've done about 30 small ones and feel like I'm only scratching the surface of understanding and ability. Know any good resources to learn from. Chat GPT 4 has been helpful but you have to know the language to get the best return results. I like people better
Cheers
I think more often than not individuals are not forthcoming with their knowledge. It goes back to even sharing a recipe for something when asked. I feel that the majority of these types feel that someone success will damage the success of themselves. Some of it stems from knowledge won through a lot of work and just dumping it into someone elses lap seems to easy. I understand to some extent but then should one feel this way, well, simply put, don't teach. Of course this goes against my grain because we should all mentor if we have done our jobs and learned as it is a primary function of bettering society and contributing to the skill of others. I totally agree about music. It is a disciplined approach with a tremendous payoff when one is swept away with its beauty and cooperation. Only thing maybe a little more lovely is doing music in perfect timing to pyrotechnics. Nice to chat with you. Oh my art, well, this painting is coming along, but boy am I messy. I am constantly cleaning up paint. I haven't quite achieved what I am after. It is so random. Different than most other mediums that I use in that respect.@@wanparaph

Thank you for this video. I am struggling with the blooms and most recipes out there are too complex, this recipe is simple and best for us beginners. Thank you so much 🙏
You’re welcome! Check my video number 188 too I was experimenting with floetrol as a PM too and got it to work. For cell activator it’s best to use Amsterdam paint, there’s just something about it but for pouring medium I used other brand paints. Have fun on your journey 💜
OMGoodness!!! This will save big bucks!!!! Thank you for experimenting further for this great alternative. I can’t wait to try👍🏻🤩
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you Jodie. I always learn a lot from your videos.
You’re very welcome Maria, I’m so glad I’m able to help! 🤗💜
I'm glad you did this I've been wondering the difference! THANK YOU!!!
There is definitely a difference. The US floetrol separates as it sits, the AUS doesn’t appear to. And someone else mentioned that the US floetrol is for latex paint and the AUS for acrylic paint (says on labels) .. maybe that’s the difference? But they are both known to make cells in the pouring world just differently. And it smells different haha! 🤣😃🤗💜
I'm just setting up to try this and your video was so helpful! Thank you so much 😊
You’re welcome Monica, I’m so glad it helped 🤗🌺
Thank you, Jodie, I like the way you provide your presentation. Your videos are fun. You are all about the painting and not full of yourself. Your talent is admired. You are easy to listen to, easy to follow what you say and are kind and humble. I’m new to pour painting (only have made 2 ring pours), learned a lot so far. I have watched probably hundreds of videos. I always seem to come back to yours. Again, thank you.
You’re welcome Jamie and thank you! Have so much fun on your fluid art journey 💜
All of them are unique, but my favorites are 1 and 2 stunning swipes. Love all tips very educational.
Thank you so much Daisy! 🥰
Just hearing your excitement over the cells has me smiling right now. Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned. I’ve always wondered how this was done.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Eric, my channel has a lot of experiments on it where this technique is concerned so enjoy the journey and thank you so much for your kind words 🤗🌺💜
Thank you.....just helped me ...a newbie. I have my CA now. I will try them and adjust them accordingly. Thanks again 😊
You’re welcome Cat! I’m so glad it helped! I’ve only tested the Amsterdam paint so far with the US floetrol like this but I do plan to test other paints in the future to see what else works. If you find something else works, please let me know! 🤗💜
Thank you so much Jodi!! I know I'm not the only one that's going to be able to save some money using this recipe!! You are a lifesaver!! And...even tho they were tests pieces they turned out beautiful!! 💜💙 Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! 💙💜
You’re very welcome Janet, I hope it works out well for you and I’m so glad I can help! 🤗💜🤗
So informative and such beauty. Thank you so much for sharing!
You’re very welcome, Nancy, thank YOU! 💜
I am so happy to see this! I just used the last of my Australian Floetral this morning and was not too keen an having to order it again when I have 4 gallons of US sitting in my art room. So THANK YOU!!! I am eager to try this out myself and save the shipping to Canada!
Totally give it a go! You may need to tweak it a little especially if it’s cooler where you are to get it thin enough, maybe even a little distilled water, just a little. Have fun! 💜
... just when I think you couldn’t help me more, you go and do this little number.. I have only used the the US brand. I’ve changed and changed my cell activator. My cells just haven’t floored me yet. And now I can see why. Awesome as always 😉☺️ back to mixing I go 😂
Oh yay!! I’m happy to help Kishea 😃 .. give it a go, maybe this will work better for you!! 🤗💜
Absolutely beautiful

You are now our hero! Thank you so so much. We love that you love to experiment, Ha.
You’re so welcome, Debbie, thank YOU! I was bound and determined to get our floetrol to work by itself and just kept thinking about it like there has to be a way. When I saw Lisa’s video it clicked like wait a minute! 😃 .. I do love to experiment haha!! 🤗💜💜
Thank you Jodi. I love your attitude and your sense of curiosity! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you. I will give US Floetrol another shot (although I'm not all that good with even the Aussie Floetrol!)
You’re very welcome, Mary, thank YOU! Totally give it another go, it’s always been finicky but it does work ☺️💜
This is really informative and really help me make a better use of the US floetrol all of those tiles were gorgeous

I'm very new to pouring and was actually overwhelmed with all the additives.. You just pulled me out of the fog. If this is all I need I'm all over this... Thank you so very much 😁
You’re welcome, I hope it works out well for you and have fun 🤗
This really simplifies it. Thanks for the information.
You’re welcome Becky, I’m so glad it helped! 🤗💜
Oh wow beautiful. Thanks for all the help and experiments you share⚘♥️
You’re very welcome, Barbara, thank YOU!! 🤗💜
I am going to try this out tomorrow! Thanks so much for perfecting this CA 💜 I tried this before but never stirred it that long. I will this time!
Give it a go Crissy, I hope it works out ok for you! ☺️💜
I can not express how much you have helped me! Thank you so very much!!❤️
You are very welcome, Kelley, I’m so glad I can help!! 🤗💜🤗
The Painted Dreamer SO SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I AM SO EXCITED TO USE THIS RECIPE! I just found it, after a year and a half of watching numerous videos, and spending more on shipping than the actual cost Of. the Australian Floetrol!!!!!!!! Great job!!!!!!!
Thank you Selina 🤗 give it a go and see how it works for you. It can be very finicky depending on the PM you are using with it but it definitely can work, you may just need to adjust a little. I’ve also experimented with using half and half, Australian & US floetrol to make the Aussie stuff last longer (video 134) and I did a video series on just US floetrol. If you want to check out my playlists you can navigate a little better that way 🤗 have fun 💜
Wow, that one looked like a hummingbird! 😍😍😍

I’m glad it helped Penny, thank you 🤗🌺
I would love to start making stuff like this, it is so pretty and I miss painting so much. Going to save up and hopefully make something cool, I will be watching your videos to look for what paints to get or stuff to buy in general. Very cool paintings
Have fun making your pieces Miss Vidzy 🤗 I’m glad I can help 💜
You’re AWESOME! Hugs from TN! Thanks for the super info!! I love it!!
Aww you’re so welcome, Serena, thank YOU so much!! 🤗💜💜
Okay I just found you and I am quite obsessed!!! Your work is beautiful and unique and I can not get this to work for me! Lol I have just kind of winged it and that just doesn't work...guess I need to really go back and watch your tutorials! I'm looking forward to learning more and hopefully being able to create cells like you have done...I love it! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into every one of your videos! It's definitely appreciated!
You’re welcome Christy and welcome to my channel 🤗 please check out the playlists as they will help you navigate a bit more with the tutorials and mixing videos. This technique does have a learning curve to it so allow yourself time and practice as you get to know your paints and your execution but always just have fun with it too no matter what! 🤗💜🌺
Thank you for this video. I found it to be very helpful, and that for the idea of small container for paint and measuring floetrol with a teaspoon. I went and brought some small container for myself to use with my paints :)
You’re very welcome Theresa, I’m so glad it helped 🤗💜
U R The Balm Jody.. Thanks for your gift to all of US!
You’re welcome Pamela, thank you 🤗💜
Omg i love al; of them ty for showing us how you can do this. Thank you.
You’re very welcome, Maria, I’m so glad I can help! 💜
Beautiful results and a real savings in money spent.
Thank you Marlynda! I’m continuing to use it in upcoming videos and it’s totally holding its own 😃
wow I am so glad I saw this one. I have learned a lot from your videos.....Especially all the experiments you did with the different house paints and now showing you can get cells with American floetrol....Thank you so much. I finished the Sheleeart course today, and hopefully it will stay warm enough now to get out in my garage to paint in couple days.
I’m so glad I can help Paulene! Have so much fun on your art journey 😃🤗💜
Great and informative video Jodie! I can see that this can save people quite a bit of money if they want to go the U.S. Floetrol route. Thank you so much for all your wonderful experiments, and for sharing it with all of us. ☺
You’re so welcome, thanks Deonna! Totally! This is definitely another option now I feel. May need a bit more fine tuning but definitely an inexpensive option and it’s just as beautiful! 😃🤗💜
Thank you so much, Jodie. This will probably save me hours of frustration.
You’re very welcome Nancy! It can be finicky so if at first you don’t succeed it just may need adjustments. I notice it’s temperamental with other pouring mediums but I really think there’s something to that Amsterdam paint also. I’ve heard even just using Amsterdam paint and water will work for cell activator. I plan to test that this year 🤗💜
Thanks so much for taking the time to show us. The secret sauce everyone is looking for, I am going to try it out. Will let you know my results. Have a great day pouring, thanks again 😁
You’re very welcome, Debbie, thank YOU!! Please let me know how it works out for you 😃🤗💜
Tfs! Your tests are so helpful for us beginners! Best wishes Laura x
I’m so glad they’re helpful Laura, thank you! 💜
Thanks for sharing this information. I will try that for sure.
You’re welcome Mary, totally give it a try 🤗
