Product Description

No more wasted paint! The Masterson Sta-Wet Handy Palette keeps acrylics and other water-based paints wet on the open palette for hours. Once the lid is closed, the paints will stay wet and in workable condition for days, even weeks. The airtight acrylic palette features a patented sponge insert and special permeable palette paper. Together, they provide acrylics and other water-miscible paints with a constant source of moisture. Moisten the sponge and lay it inside the paint palette tray, then place the palette paper on top. When the lid is open, the paints will have an extended open time. When the lid is snapped shut, the Masterson Sta-Wet palette will maintain a moist atmosphere that preserves paints. In addition to its uses with water-based paints, the Sta-Wet palette can be used as an oil paint palette. For use with oils, simply remove palette and sponge and use the covered paint palette to store oil paints (oil palette paper not included). The lid has five prongs that provide structural stability and prevent any paints stored inside from contact with the lid. The Handy Palette is the ideal size for projects in the studio or classroom, and the small size also makes it great for travel.

Customers like the ease of use of the wet palette. For example, they say it's simple, easy to clean, and setup.

Customers are mixed about the seal of the task tray. Some mention that it's great and helps the paint last longer, while others say that it doesn't seal correctly and causes the paints to dry out faster than normal.

Best for use while actively painting.
I primarily paint with gouache, and this palette has made my life much easier. I've noticed lots of reviews talking about how long you can store your paint with this palette, but that is not what I need or use this palette for. First and foremost this palette is designed to keep your paints wet while you are painting, and to that extend it works fabulously. It also keeps my gouache active even over a few days while I'm working on a project, but long term storage really isn't what this palette is about, nor is it what I need. If you simply need a palette that will keep your paints from drying while you are actively painting, this product works great. If I need my paint to last overnight for a day or two I slip it back into the ziplock bag that it came in to increase the airtightness. I used to make my own stay wet palettes, but this has made my life much easier. If you want long term storage, while I think this palette can handle that for awhile, I don't think this is the product you should be considering for that, and honestly, you might need to change your workflow if that's a particular problem for you.
