Publicado 2024-01-22
Many beginners have questions about "cell activator" like:
What is cell activator?
Can I use silicone oil as cell activator?
Where to buy cell activator...
The term cell activator was made popular by ā@SheleeartĀ and the popular bloom technique, however there are a number of different ways to make cells. Individuals and companies have capitalized on this and have created products which adds to the confusion for a beginner. Understand you can make cells with just paint and water because cells are moreso created simply by pouring (or placing) different densities of paint into each other. Science backs this with the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability theory. We use products like australian floetrol, and silicone oil to help us achieve those effects. These simple questions can be hard to answer because they are loaded questions, but once you understand the concept of the cell making process making them becomes a bit less daunting.

BABYYY You won't believe the depth of colors in this piece: https://youtu.be/JuXGNM7bgzQ?si=hEWpuioAVx7nsFOc
-
The Glue?!? Speechless! I can't even believe it. Keep doing these, dude, you are KILLING. You are answering SO many questions!
-
The glue was a bit of a shock honestly. I appreciate the correct ratio of the water and paint too because when I tried it I added too much water so this helps. I honestly just straight up can't afford Aussie floetrol no matter how pretty it is, so I'm excited to see that there are other options provided you have the right ratios. I don't do many blooms because the cell activator recipes I've tried before don't really work all that well for me so this is super encouraging. Thank you!!
-
THE GLUE, AMAZING AND LOW COST. THANK YOU FOR SHARING
-
Great experiment again. I would love to see different products for pouring medium and pillow. Hugs my friend š§”
-
Garrick, Thank you for this wonderful experiment. You saved the rest of us a lot of time. Also, You have a really great way about you that makes all your videos enjoyable to watch. š
-
That is my type of experiment. Well done Garrick!
-
Honestly, I was impressed by all of them. I might be leaning more towards the Glue All one though. Iāve only bought one Aussie Floetrol and while I like it, Iām only a hobbyist and canāt justify the cost. Thanks you Garrick for giving us more options. ā¤ Looking forward to the next experiment.
-
Wow the results are mind blowing ! The water and paint only ! Dang !! ššš£
-
The answer, Garrick Brown IS Cel Activator!!!! I pick #2 but I really pick you my friend!ā¤
-
Great comparison! So many people ask in FB about non-Floetrol recipes; this would be very helpful. Thanks for doing this. PS your sense of humor cracks me up; donāt ever lose that!
-
Today I tried your recipe with PVA ,water and Amsterdam Titanium white and it was a success! I have been practicing blooms for months, and today finally it was the best result ever! Here in UK we can't find australian foeltrol and the results with Aussie-trol where disappointing. Thank you soooooo much, I am over the moon!

Hi I just discovered your channel with happiness. I'm speechless, how can you have beautiful little cells with a 1:1 paint and water recipe? Magic but it's magnificent, with a few recipes on the same table, we obtain different shapes and sizes of cells I imagine. I don't really know this universe, I paint very large abstract paintings. But I'm not saying I won't try. as a base coat, is it just pure acrylic paint or is it diluted?. Your work is magnificent. Have a great day. A new subscriber from Montreal.

I really got into & did so much fluid painting a few years ago when it first became popular. I stopped bc I moved & didnāt have the space. Now I do & your video has gotten me motivated to paint again! Felt like I was just hanging out with a friend, talking about paints weāre experimenting with! I hope you plan to keep putting out videos bc I look forward to seeing them! Hope youāre having a great weekend!
-
Ok, Iām a fan for life, I just subscribed. You are awesome, Iām in Canada and I canāt justify spending 75.00$ on a little jug of Floetrol, at least I have some alternatives now, thank you, thank you and it works with the piggies even betterš¤©šØš¦
-
One of the reasons you continue to get sells is because you're using titanium White. And also if you were to torch your art and bust the bubbles you would also come up with more lacing and cells as well. But it's actually the titanium white that's giving you cells

Hi from South Africa! Thank you so much for taking the time to do these tests, I am a newbie to acrylic pouring, and you have just answered so many of my questions! I feel much more confident now!
-
You have totally cleared the cobwebs of utter confusion from my mind. Seriously, thank you! Iām a new subscriber and Iāll definitely be back. š
-
So excited every time I see you doing recipes . You are very kind to help us with this crazy task!
-
Excellent testing Garrick! Iām surprised with the glue and paint as my recipe has that and wood conditioner. It worked beautifully without it. Going to try that without for sure! I recently splurged on a small bottle of Aussie and expected to be wowed. But there are such good recipes out there like yours, itās not a necessary buy. Fabulous as always my friendā¤.
