Ideal for both interior and exterior projects, this 2.5-liter container offers professional-grade results with every use.

## Description

Water-based paint additive. Makes it easier to glide - allows effortless painting of a blanket. Provides better tension.

Review: Great product - Sounds too good to be true, but it isn’t. Works exactly as advertised. A little rubbed on the base of the bristles stops the paint coagulating there. Only wish I had discovered it earlier!
Review: Good flow less paint used - I use the owatrol product for oil and water based paints (oil for oil, floetrol for water).. In oils it slows drying and allows the paint to smooth out lessening the brush strokes. Worth the money if you are looking for a clean surface and or are using a tricky oil paint (eg little greene traditional oil eggshell). For water based paints the floetrol helps the paint spread better, meaning you can use slightly less paint. Clearly worth it with more expensive paints bit waste of money with cheaper... The finish is smooth and it gives more time to work across the surface joining wet edges. If you judge on the finish, I'm very happy, although it's a long time since I didn't use, so all I can judge is my results v other paint finishes from someone else. Yes owatrol are expensive, but these two products work very well and are worth it in my eyes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Transformed water based paint into something that was a pleasure to use!
*by A***Y on 17 May 2026*

Never used this product before, but it transformed water based paint into something that was a pleasure rather than a curse on new panelled doors and window sills, providing an open time more a kin to oil based paint.
