Comments about Tri-Art Non-Stick Palette:

I've been using this palette for years, in my workshops and studio, and I know that Quality Acrylic Paints do not stick to it. however, if the paint is a brittle and cheap acrylic, it will jsut flake off anyways.

I like that it is a large palette, a great shape for Acrylic skins! acrylic skins need to be fairly thick (thin skins just dont work as well!).

If leftover thin paint seems difficult to peel off, use warm water to soften and wipe away. It is best not to scrap the palette with a metal palette knife (it will scratch it!). If I have a lot of small and thin areas of dried paint all over it, I will either use warm water, or just apply a layer of polymer medium all over and when it's dry, peel it away in one whole skin.

I have been using the same palette for 4 years now and it still looks brand new when I clean it! ;-)

I try to be as environmentally friendly as I can be in my studio, which means not using disposable palettes (which are just wasteful), and I feel that reusing the acrylic skins for experimental works is a much better solution than rinsing paint down the drain, or throwing it in the garbage.

It may not be peelable, but it is scrapeable. Use a paint knife and the dried acrylic comes up very easily. A lot of satisfaction in scraping it off -- sort of therapeutic. I've used mine over and over, and when it wears out, I'll buy another.

Scrape-able, rather than peel-able, is the way I would describe this item. Using my thumbnail for about half an hour, I was able to remove some dried acrylic. Then I gave up. Blick's no hassle satisfaction guarantee was a welcome antidote to my dissatisfaction. Price refunded with a minimum of fuss.
