Painting Instructions:

Step 1: Blend thoroughly dispersion into PROCEED Smooth Translucent Texture. 10 parts Texture to 1 part PROCEED Dispersion Quinacridone Magenta to 1 part PROCEED Transparent Red Iron Oxide.

Step 2: Use a roller to apply the PROCEED Smooth Translucent Texture, taking care to load the roller as evenly as possible. Use the blade to smooth out any roller marks. Holding the blade at a 30-45 degree angle, lightly swipe across the plaster in one direction. Be careful not to scrape Translucent Texture off but allow modulation and light texture to remain. 

Step 3: When the first application has dried completely, the Texture will be lighter in color and will no longer feel moist. Use the same technique in Step 1 to apply a second layer, using the roller and blade to cover any areas of the base coat that may be seen peeking through.

Step 4: When the second coat is completely dry, scrape the blade across the surface to knock off any ridges or deposited material that may have accumulated. Continuing to swipe the blade across the surface will bring up a Dry Burnish, or a gloss effect, to the Translucent Texture.

A higher gloss finish can be achieved with a Wet Burnish technique using just the blade and a little bit of plaster. Use a palette knife to apply the plaster to the blade. The amount of plaster on the blade should only be about the size of a quarter. At a very low angle to the wall surface, leaving just enough room for your thumb underneath the blade, spread the plaster. After each pass, stand the blade up and scrape off any excess, wiping it off on a paper towel. It is very important to keep the blade clean or else you can accumulate dry pieces and scratch your surface. When you can touch this layer and not get any on your hand but the plaster still feels damp, you are ready to Wet Burnish. Apply moderate pressure with the face of the blade, not digging into the surface but gliding over it using the same criss-cross motion as in steps 1 and 2. Continue to burnish until the Translucent Texture takes on the high gloss appearance you desire.

Optional: If desired, apply 1 coat of the Smooth Transparent Trowelable Glaze instead of the wet burnishing step to create a high gloss layer.

Important: Golden Artist Colors provides these recipes as points of departure for exploring Golden products in faux finishing applications.

GOLDEN strongly recommends samples be created before attempting to apply these techniques to walls, some techniques will be difficult to remove or to cover at a later date.
