TIPS
• Store your palette in a dry, cool place
• Clean your palette with warm soapy water between projects; it will help extend the life of your foam
• Replace hydration paper between projects or as needed; some techniques can thin it and make it more fragile
• If you keep your palette loaded for long periods of time, you run the risk of mold growing in the foam. Some brands, like
RedGrass Games, use mold resistant foam. If you have another brand or a homemade wet palette, besides thorough cleaning and allowing the palette to dry out between uses, add a short length of copper wire or a penny under your foam to help slow possible mold growth
