| INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOODEN DÉCOUPAGE HOME CRAFTS
ITEM |
 |
Follow MODGE PODGE instructions, but do not varnish, and continue as follows: |
 |
Apply a thin coat of BASE COAT FOR SMALL CRACKS (or if you prefer BASE COAT FOR LARGE CACKS).
Wait till dry. Apply a second layer and wait till dry. Each application of BASE COAT takes about 30
minutes to dry.
|
 |
With a dry brush or sponge applicator, apply a layer of TOP COAT.
Ensure that the entire surface is coated well.
Work quickly – it is not advisable to rework areas that have started drying.
Allow to dry for a few hours.
|
 |
THE CRACKS ARE BEARLY VISIBLE at this stage. You will need to rub MAGIC TOUCH
or ARTISTS OIL COLOURS into cracks. Put a drop of turpentine onto the cloth you use to rub
in MAGIC TOUCH or OILS.
|
 |
If you want to protect the surface wait at least 5 days and then apply 2-3 coats of Solvent Based
SEAL SKIN (UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN A WATER-BASED SEALER BE USED OVER ANTIQUE
CRACKLE.) SEAL SKIN is not heat-resistant. If your project requires a stronger sealer, use PU
SOLVENT -BASED VARNISH.
