Floetrol smooths out water-based paint
Water-based paint is easy to clean up, but it can dry with the brush marks still in it. Floetrol is the additive that fixes that. Add a little or a lot, mix it into the paint or primer, and it lays down smooth, so you get the leveled look of an oil finish with the convenience of a water-based coating.
It also helps when you spray, cutting down on tip clogging. And it’s a washable formula, so it cleans up with soap and water.
