PREPARATION: The surface must be clean and dry. Clean with phosphate-free TSP organic degreaser. Surfaces other than bare wood should be lightly sanded. For glass, metal or glossy plastic, we recommend first applying a coat of Homestead House Bonding Agent. Application: Fusion is applied with a “Blue Jeans” synthetic bristle brush or for a smoother finish, use a very dense bristle brush such as the Staalmeester oval brush. It also applies very well with a roller. Mix the paint well before application. All colors can be mixed together to create a multitude of colors. To give a worn effect: use the wax stick to prevent the paint from sticking to the areas you want to wear. CAUTION: The varnish does not adhere to the wax.
FINISHING: The paint is dry to the touch after two to three hours. To create an antique (wear) effect, sand the surfaces with SIASPONGE flexible waterproof abrasive sponges. Although it is not obligatory, adding a finish will improve the gloss, solidity and make the painted surface much easier to maintain. Apply a wax after 4 hours. You can use Fusion Wax, Homestead House Waxes, and Carbamex Clear or Colored Paste Wax to create patinas. Wait 24 hours after application before applying Fusion protective sealant or a varnish such as Blanchon Initial for surfaces exposed to moisture and abrasion. For exterior surfaces, use Blanchon Marine Varnish.
