Your welcome! I am glad you liked it. Plus it is the most accurate way of testing paint consistency without using vague terms like "warm honey". What are some other issues you are experiencing with acrylic pouring? I'd like to see if I can come up with more solutions like this one

Do you think one Pouring Medium works better than others? I've tried Master's Touch from Hobby Lobby, Apple Barrel from Walmart and DIY Elmer's School Glue 70% with 30% Water. Maybe I'm just not getting my consistency quiet right yet. But I will use your Consistency Indicator on my next painting.

​@@patmorales1125 I don't believe there is 1 BEST pouring medium for all techniques. Each pouring medium has it's uses, strengths, and weaknesses. You first need to decide what technique you want to do and find what pouring medium works best for you for that specific technique. Let me give you an example... Pretend you want to do Brazilian cheese bread which is normally made with Tapioca Flour. You can't just swap out Tapioca flour with regular wheat flour, rice flour, or almond flour and expect to get the same results. Same thing happens in acrylic pouring... some techniques require a specific pouring medium or specific paints or additives to get the expected result. Australian Floetrol is great for creating cells, therefore, if you prefer to not get any cells, it's probably best that you don't use that pouring medium. A pouring medium made out of glue and water sucks at creating cells if you don't add any silicone oil to your paint mixes. Therefore, if you are expecting to get cells in your paintings and use a glue pouring medium without any silicone oil, you'll be disappointed with the results. Having that said, there can be multiple pouring mediums that will work very similarly and can give similar end results. That is why Beginners are always so confused with all the pouring medium recipes out there, but it's simply because they don't understand these concepts. However, I personally love Floetrol for beginners. It's a very versatile pouring medium substitute that is affordable, causes minimal problems in acrylic pouring, and has the perfect consistency in my point of view. It creates cells when mixed with the correct paints and works well for most of the beginner techniques.

This worked perfectly for me -- thank you !!
