floating medium?

Today at walmart I saw floating medium in the craft paint section.
I read the bottle not very helpful.

How many bottles would it take to float a 6'5", 250lb man/boy?

1 bottle for every ten pounds should do it. That should get you about 3 feet off the ground.

it may be cheaper to just lose weight!

really what is this stuff?

A floating medium is a gel (usually) which allows paint colors to be blended easier. If you've tried watercolor painting without a floating medium you may have noticed the colors can run rather than blend.

Since acrylics dry quickly this method often requires additives and/or mediums to be added to the paint. This slows drying and increases the ease of blending.
