You don't need to thin the paint - just dampen the Woolie Pad. I mix my paint with glaze and use a damp Woolie all the time. Best. Tool. Ever.

Her name was Barbie. Sorry, I can't remember her last name. She was from Chicago. I was working at one of our local Home Depots at the time and she was touring from state to state and site to site teaching one person in each paint department to use this wonderful tool. The idea was that we would then have scheduled in-store demonstrations to market this product...and sell a little paint. Since I had been a painter for many years and I already knew other faux techniques, I was the likely student. We had a ball! The technique was very easy to learn [Barbie said to never thin the paint but a damp pad worked great] and to teach. My multiple Saturday classes were a hit! The Woolies flew off the shelves for a long time. She invented other Woolie accessories like the "Baby Woolie", etc. for other cool effects. I have no idea why they disappeared from Home Depots. I guess I did too. I used the Woolie on several projects at my own home. My wife was always delighted with the results. My old Woolie is pretty tired and I would like to buy another one. Any ideas where I might buy one? Thanks! MB Many years ago, I was taught to use the Woolie by the inventor. Her name was Barbie. Sorry, I can’t remember her last name. She was from Chicago.

A fellow Faux'r recommended a woolie for softening edges. I have used it dry but will also try this damp technique. Best place to buy a woolie is "Ace Hardware" here locally. They have a nice handle on them and are great for small hands like mine. Yes, the woolie is your friend. A fellow Faux’r recommended a woolie for softening edges.
