Silicone Drops For Acrylic Pouring

Silicone Drops are essential for artists seeking bold, cell-rich effects in acrylic pouring. These drops introduce a non-mixing agent into water-based paints, causing pigment layers to separate and form stunning cellular patterns.

Add 2–3 drops per 40ml of mixed paint and pouring medium. Swirl gently—don’t overmix. This technique works beautifully with flip cup, swipe, ring pour, and Dutch pour styles.

Because silicone doesn’t bind with acrylics, it rises to the surface, revealing vibrant layers beneath. As a result, artists achieve depth, movement, and contrast in their pours.

Use pure silicone oil or dimethicone-based formulas for best results. Avoid additives with dyes or fragrances, which may affect colour clarity.

Key Benefits:

• Creates vibrant cells in fluid art
• Works with most acrylic pouring techniques
• Requires only a few drops per colour
• Compatible with Bastion Flow Control and Turbo Cell
• Available in 10ml, 100ml, and bulk sizes

Clean finished pieces with mild soap to remove residue before sealing. Store silicone drops in a cool, dry place. For archival work, test compatibility with your sealant or varnish.
