As someone who recently dove into the world of fluid art, this U.S. Art Supply kit has been an absolute game-changer. The 1-quart Floetrol additive works like magic - it transformed my thick acrylics into silky, flowable paint that created stunning organic cells in my first pour.

The deluxe kit truly lives up to its name. I was shocked by how many mixing cups, droppers, and tools came packed in the box. The 50 graduated mix cups are perfect for experimenting with different paint-to-medium ratios, while the silicone oil (included!) helped me achieve those mesmerizing lacing effects everyone craves.

What surprised me most was the quality of the palette knives and mixing sticks - they feel sturdy enough for repeated use rather than flimsy disposable tools. The mini painting stands became instant favorites for propping up my works-in-progress during drying.

Two minor drawbacks: The instructions could be more detailed (I supplemented with YouTube tutorials), and one reviewer mentioned missing Floetrol - though mine arrived complete. For under $30, this kit delivers incredible value whether you're testing the waters or stocking your studio.

After creating six paintings in two weeks, I can confidently say this kit contains everything needed to fall in love with acrylic pouring. The included supplies will last through countless masterpieces (or happy accidents!). Just add paint and canvas!
