Yes it is safe Tara. I have done it a ton of times with all sorts of mediums without any problems. However, I generally don’t much of other pouring mediums in with Floetrol unless I am adding a tiny bit (1/10 or so) of a shiny medium to keep the dry result from being too matte looking and to add a little additional strength.

Golden has a great write up about how to dispose of water infused with acrylic paint. You definitely don’t want to put that down the drain if you can help it Michael.

Subscriptions are definitely free to YouTube or to the blog feed. You can get the cheat sheet by searching for the article “How much paint to use for an acrylic pour” on this website. I can’t put in the link here as I have that turned off in comments to keep the spam/viruses away.

Just wanted to start with a disclaimer that I am not a doctor and you should consult your medical adviser. Allergies to acrylic paint can come from a number of places including the pigment and the binders used in the paint production. My recommendation would be to not use the paint brands that you were using if you can identify which one caused the rash. You could also try using washable tempera paints also as the binder is organic instead of synthetic like most acrylics.

Definitely start using gloves and a respirator when using acrylics. No point in leaving anything to chance with something like this.
