Tips for Adjusting Paint Amounts with My Acrylic Pouring Calculator
I'm thrilled to assist you in your acrylic pouring journey with my handy calculator! While my calculator offers pretty accurate estimates, it's important to always consider your pouring technique. Are you a dramatic tilter who usually spills a lot of paint? If so, then you might need extra paint to compensate for the paint loss during tilting. But if you're into techniques that don't require much tilting, you might find that less paint works like a charm.
Other things such as adding a base layer of paint, pouring on a rough surface, or leaving negative space will also affect how much paint mix you will need. When starting with a base layer or planning to leave some negative space, reduce the total amount of paint mix by 25%-50%. If you are pouring on a rough surface, you will need to increase the amount of paint you use by maybe 10-15%.

This calculator was designed based on extensive personal experience and has been thoroughly tested by dozens of my students. My acrylic pouring calculator is one of the best paint pouring tools available online to help you approximately calculate how much paint you need with minimum effort.
