I always used steam distilled water to make size and mix colors, and in particular, Uncle Dan's, until that disappeared from shelves and told my students the difference between tap water and steam distilled was like burlap VS silk. Each needs to be experimented with as there is no exact formula (too little, too much, etc), and different ratios need to be worked out. Don't give up! Other wetting agents can be tried as well: for the serious minded- Triton-100-X (contains same formulas as Photo Flo 200, 600) and can be found online at photo supply sources the other is simple JetDry for dishwashers. RawTherapee is a multi-platform open-source (Libre-free) raw photo processing system. However, along the way, my experimental nature took hold and led me in exciting new directions. Long story short- I had to marble in new trays, make new tools, and buy more brushes since washing didn't remove all the PF. Back in the day, Kodak described Photo Flo as a mixture of iconic and a non-iconic wetting agents (which cling to everything).
It was coating the surface of rakes & comb tips,my stylus and even brush hairs. I used Photo Flo 200 (for over 20 years) and eventually realized the formula was contaminating my tray and tools. Not using it, I can make the combed patterns work, but they are not nearly as good without the clear ink. To overcome each of these challenges, a fiber-coupled laser was substituted as. I really miss having a reliable clear ink, to hold the ground color of the background, open up the patterns and provide contrast. Indeed, the two most important design criteria for photoflow reactors are. The best alternative is Google Photos, which is free. I have not tried Galen Berry's dispersant. There are more than 10 alternatives to PhotoFlow for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and iPad. The former is very strong and the latter not as strong as photo flo, which I used to us 3-4 drops per ounce of distilled water.

I have Golden's acrylic flow release and Pro Chemical's dispersing agent.
Have you found another dispersing agent for acrylic marbling that works well for you? Has anyone else had this experience with Photo Flo? I wondered if Kodak had changed the formula, but in a direct inquiry, I could find nothing about that. It seems unlikely that a soapy substance can spoil, like natural oxgall. Although the non pariel comb pulled very fast helps get rid of some of the irregularities, many combed pattern have been ruined. Somewhere along the way, my gall water stopped working, breaking up with irregular edges and looking like contamination, even when made up fresh with steam distilled water. I used it successfully with both Boku Undo colors, tube acrylics and fabric pigments.
I used Kodak photo flo for years with success, to create "gall water" for acrylic marbling, and to add to any colors that needed help floating.
