Key specifications

• Compact, travel-friendly size that fits on a hobby desk or in a bag
• Sealable lid to retain moisture and prevent spills
• Moisture-retaining insert suitable for acrylic paints
• Durable outer casing designed for repeated use
• Surface area sized for mixing multiple paint shades simultaneously

How to use

Prepare the Hydro Pack by placing the moisture-retaining insert inside and moistening it according to the manufacturer's guidance, then lay the included palette paper or membrane over the damp insert. Dispense small amounts of acrylic paint onto the palette surface and blend or thin as needed. Close the lid between sessions to preserve moisture. Clean the surface and replace the insert or paper when worn or contaminated to maintain optimal performance.

Usage recommendations

Use distilled or clean tap water to dampen the insert for consistent results. Avoid using solvent-based thinners directly on the palette surface. For long-term storage of paints, transfer remaining paint to sealed pots rather than leaving them on the palette. Regularly replace the palette paper or membrane to prevent pigment buildup and to ensure a hygienic working surface.
