I think flottage is correct because the technique does not involve a brush.
Thank you to all of you for your help!!!
Christine Andersen Jan 27, 2013:
Just call it flottage? It's not a Danish word; the writer has simply used the French term. You might do better by looking it up in French or asking in French-English.

Here is an example where the technique is called flottage in English too.

I've also found ´Float Technique´ just by guessing, so it looks as if andres-larsen is right.
