βοΈ How to Use Your WetNDri
First Time Setup:
- Rinse the sponge thoroughly before first use to remove any residue. The sponge will expand to fill the tray.
- Saturate the sponge by placing it in the tray with distilled or purified water until fully saturated. You can use the top (cover) as a wet palette or as a dry palette for additional mixing space.
- Prepare the paper: Once the sponge is fully saturated, tip out most of the water from the tray. Wet your precut paper before placing it onto the sponge and smooth the paper if necessary. Paper will flatten out when fully wet. Ensure the paper is completely flat with no bubbles or dry spots. Wipe off excess moisture using a paper towel/soft cloth from the paper surface. Excess water on the paper surface and sponge will cause your paint to dilute and spread out.
- Start painting: Place some paint on the paper and mix/blend directly to start your painting session. Some paint brands will split or get too watery if absorbing too much liquid due to humidity. If this happens, you may choose to leave the trays slightly ajar (this is the characteristic of some paint brands). On the other hand, if your paint is too dry the next day, keep the lids tightly closed using the elastic band and just add a bit of water to revive your paint.
π‘ Pro Tips for Best Results:
- Use distilled water β Different temperatures and humidity may cause water to evaporate, so keep a dropper bottle of water to rehydrate your sponge periodically
- Press down dry spots β Tip the tray back and forth gently to distribute water evenly. Press down any dry spots on the paper onto the sponge using your fingers
- Keep lid closed tightly when not painting β Leaving the tray opened will make the water evaporate quickly, leading to your paints drying out
- For transport: Tip out all excess water from the tray and keep palette flat at all times
- When not in use: Allow the sponge to dry. Simply rewet the sponge and follow the same instructions above to use it again. Drain and clean your trays occasionally to prevent mold or mildew from forming
π¦ Refills Available: Precut paper and sponge refills are readily available for sale in our store.

the best wet/dry paint tray I've brought I've it looks professionally and works perfectly i love it top quality
Literally the best one Iβve owned. Super nice design, great quality! Iβve painted miniatures for over 30 years, and this one is definitely a must. Great for beginners and pros.
Not only is this wet palette beyond perfect the customer service is A1. Had an issue (probably due to my own stupidity) and got a response same HOUR. They not only resolved my issue with ease but weβre very pleasant to speak with. If you are on the fenceβ¦ buy it. Doesnβt get better then this.
I like the size of this pallet, it doesn't take up a big amount of my work table. I also like the specialty sponge and pallet paper combo. I recently started painting Warhammer figures with my son as a bonding activity. Those little critters are pretty fun to paint! We picked up some specialty Citadel paints, and the consistency is perfect for enhancing the details! But Citadel paints are somewhat pricey! Add to that the fact that they dry quickly, and you have potential for significant waste. I hate wasting art supplies!
The WetNDri Paint Tray Pallet has solved the waste issue very nicely! I put a few drops of paint on the pallet paper and mixed up a custom color for painting the metal on my critters, and then when I was finished with a first coat, I closed up the pallet & left for about a half hour. When I came back the paint was still perfectly wetted. I did a little more detail, closed the pallet and left again (there are a lot of 15 minute drying intervals during paint sessions for miniatures) Came back after lunch and picked up right where I left off.
I like the dry pallet section too, although I have yet to do anything more than store brushes in it. But I'm thinking I might use it for mica powders and Rub n' buff metallics as well as dry brushing paints.
I only have one real problem with this pallet; I originally bought it as a gift for my son, but I like it so much that now I have to get another one for him, because I'm keeping this bad boi!
I have not used this item during painting as of yet... however I have received the item and it's very nice. I was able to store all my random brushes inside the box for traveling. The spong pads that come with it are also of quality. I don't think you can go wrong with this item.
