Paint Products:

• Light Molding Paste
• Fine Pumice Gel
• Fluid VanDyke Brown Hue

Brushes and Tools:

• Texture blades or spackle knives
• Drawing Tool

Painting Instructions:

Step 1.  Mix Light Molding Paste with Fine Pumice Gel and VanDyke Brown Hue at a ratio of 1:1:.25.  With a texture blade or spackle knife, apply the plaster mixture unevenly onto the surface allowing the base color to show in places.  Using a drawing tool, draw into the wet surface cleaning the tool periodically.  Set aside remaining plaster mixture and allow the painted surface to dry.

Step 2.  Take the remaining plaster mixture and add some more untinted Light Molding Paste.  This should create a mixture lighter than the first.  Blade this mixture over the surface unevenly and allow to dry.

Clean Up:  Wash hands and tools in soap and water.  Keep tools wet while working to prevent permanent adhesion of the acrylic materials.

Surface Preparation:

General: A clean, wax free, non-greasy surface is recommended.  High gloss surfaces may need scuffing to improve adhesion.  GOLDEN Glaze is formulated to work best over a satin sheen base coat.  Gels and texture products may be put over any sheen base coat.

Masonry/Stucco: New masonry needs to be fully cured and primed with a suitable masonry primer.

Wood: Raw wood may be painted or stained directly, but be aware that water based materials can cause grain raising.  See “General” instructions above for guidance on previously painted surfaces.

Metal: Painting direct to metal requires a suitable primer for the specific metal type.  See “General” instructions above for guidance on previously painted surfaces.

Glass: Painting direct to glass is possible; primers and GOLDEN GAC 200 aid in adhesion.

Fabric, Canvas, and Paper: Paint direct or use GOLDEN Mediums as a size, to increase launderability or seal the surface.
