THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH NEW CHART AND INFO  - Click HERE for update.

In acrylic pouring, consistency of paint is a key factor.  It is most important that one is using the correct consistency for the technique one is doing.  Regardless of how well you think you can eyeball it, testing your paint consistency is important to avoid disappointing results.

How to do a paint consistency test ??

Preferably use a glazed tile but you can also use cardboard, glass or any other material that you can hold up and the paint can run down without hindrance.

Put the same sized drop of each of your paint mixes across the top.  Hold it up.  All the colours should run the same, if not, adjust the ones that are running slow.  Test again and repeat until they all run the same.
