Wet Palette Set VALLEJO B90001 – hobby painting wet palette kit

VALLEJO Wet Palette Set B90001 – hobby painting wet palette kit is a compact wet palette designed for hobbyists and miniature painters who use acrylic paints. The kit creates a humidity-controlled surface that slows paint drying, allowing longer working times for mixing, glazing and layering. It is intended to improve paint consistency and reduce waste by keeping paints usable between painting sessions.

Advantages

The wet palette set maintains a moist environment that prolongs the open time of acrylic paints, facilitating smoother blending and more reliable color transitions. Its components are designed to be easy to clean and reassemble, enabling repeated use without complex maintenance. The palette supports stepwise painting workflows by keeping mixed colors usable across several hours or longer when properly maintained.

Suitable for

• Miniature painting and model painting with acrylics
• Layering, glazing and color mixing techniques
• Hobbyists who need to keep mixed colors usable between sessions
• Workshops, studio workspaces, and tabletop painting events

When it may not be suitable

This wet palette set is intended specifically for water-based acrylic paints and may not perform as intended with solvent-based paints, oils, or enamels. Users who require a permanently airtight or refrigerated storage solution for paints should consider dedicated storage systems rather than a wet palette.

Key specifications

• Type: wet palette kit for acrylic paints
• Function: moisture-controlled mixing surface to extend paint open time
• Typical use: mixing and storing small quantities of paint during painting sessions
• Cleaning: reusable components designed for cleaning with water and mild soap

How to use

Prepare the wet palette by moistening the included sponge or hydration layer and placing the absorbent paper or membrane on top according to the kit instructions. Dispense small amounts of acrylic paint onto the membrane and mix as needed. Keep the lid closed between uses to retain humidity and rehydrate the sponge if paints begin to dry. Clean the palette components with water after extended use and allow them to dry before storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended paint type: suitable for water-based acrylics only
• Size and working area: ensure the palette dimensions match your mixing needs
• Maintenance: requires periodic rehydration and cleaning
• Compatibility with your painting workflow and storage habits

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the sponge consistently moist but not flooded, apply only the paint quantities you need, and close the lid between painting passes to maintain humidity. Refresh the hydration layer before long breaks and clean components regularly to prevent pigment build-up.
