Any sort from grocery store. All better than art supply paper for Masterson which is designed for different use...the papers most hobby wet palettes come with are ok..but not really any better than plain baking paper..not waxed of course..if you have access to several brands, it’s cheap to try several...

You use oils..haha..
Never tried that ...a good option and avoids annoyed looks from SWMBO after using all the stuff she bought for cooking !!!

Unwaxed baking parchment paper like Winton works well. If you're in the UK then Sainsburys own baking paper is great.

Thanks for reply chaps
Hi Guys
I have a question in relation to the paper used
Has anyone had it disintegrate or breakdown after putting paint on it ?

Not ever not parchment or baking paper..
But, the sponge can go nasty with masterson..not so much with Redgrass. Paulo will attest to Redgrass quality

I actually use the Daler & Rowney membrane. I know these are both designed for use with thick acrylic paint rather than liquid like we usually use, but I've had no issue and even find I can wash paint off it and never get lose fibres like you do with papers.
The thing I find that makes a difference is using sponge cloths for the reservoir. They just hold loads of fluid.

When I started out with a wet palette, I made my own from a Chinese takeout container and a kitchen sponge. For palette paper, I wound up using brown packaging paper. It worked very well, except that over time, fibers worked their way out of the paper and onto my brush.
I also tried kitchen parchment paper, and do be advised that not all kitchen parchment papers are the same. Parchment paper is meant to prevent baked items from sticking to pans, and some are impregnated with silicon to achieve that. That makes them less permeable and not ideal for palette paper. I have read comments from some painters who said they boiled the paper to make it more permeable. I decided that that was too much extra effort for something that didn't really work any better than other products.
Once I got comfortable with using the palette, I bought myself GreenGrass Games' smaller palette, for its smaller footprint (8"x5 1.2"). I use their paper, which is very fine, though it can be rinsed after a session and used for another. It's so fine that I have to be careful not to use too much paint, because it easily osmoses throughout the palette.
Prost!

I have. Trouble is I cannot remember the brand of ‘baking paper’ but as I mixed either water or flow improver/retarder, I noticed a lot of bits in the paint and finally a hole. Not really had it since but it was messy. At Christmas I was treated to an Army Painter wet pallet and the papers that come with it are excellent. However, when these run out I will be going back to baking paper to see if it works as well. If not I will be happy to buy Army Painter refills as I am very happy with them.
I have an Army Painter wet palette . The papers are fine. I also bought a pack of Daler-Rowney refills, and they are good too, and not expensive, just need trimming to fit.

Please note that I never keep my paint blobs for more than one paint session..
I use very small amount of paints on a wet palette. Blobs will dry after 3 to 4 hours.
Once I have finished painting for the day, I just wash my Masterson paper under tap water and let it dry.
I rinse the sponge and dry it by pushing on it with the palm of my hands. put everything aside and let it air dray
I use a Ferrero rocher plastic case to hold the wet sponge and paper.. I can recycle the paper for dozens of sessions.
for base coating or small paint sessions, I use a porcelain palette.
