Fusion Mineral Paint Homestead Blue
Superior to English and American chalk paints, FUSION ultra-adhesive mineral paint can be applied to any surface without a primer or undercoat. It is ready to use and provides a matte finish as authentic as milk paint. Fusion paint does not require a topcoat, but you may apply one to create glossier or distressed effects, or to increase protection against water and friction. Fusion mineral paint is highly durable and easy to apply. It offers excellent coverage, which in almost every case requires only one coat.

PREPARATION: THE SURFACE MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY. CLEAN WITH PHOSPHATE-FREE ORGANIC TSP DEGREASER. SURFACES OTHER THAN BARE WOOD SHOULD BE LIGHTLY SANDED. FOR GLASS, METAL, OR GLOSSY PLASTIC, WE RECOMMEND APPLYING A COAT OF HOMESTEAD HOUSE ADHESION AGENT FIRST.
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. STIR THE PAINT WELL BEFORE APPLICATION. ALL COLORS CAN BE MIXED TOGETHER TO CREATE A MULTITUDE OF SHADES.
To create a distressed effect: use the wax stick to prevent the paint from adhering to areas you wish to distress. WARNING: Varnish will not adhere to wax.
FINISH: THE PAINT IS DRY TO THE TOUCH AFTER TWO TO THREE HOURS.
To create an antique (worn) effect, sand the surfaces with SIASPONGE flexible waterproof abrasive sponges.
Although not mandatory, adding a topcoat will improve luster, durability, and make the painted surface much easier to maintain.
Apply wax after 4 hours. You can use Fusion wax, Homestead House waxes, and colorless or colored Carbamex paste wax to create patinas.
Wait 24 hours after application before applying the Fusion protective sealer or a varnish like Blanchon Initial for surfaces exposed to moisture and abrasion. For outdoor surfaces, use Blanchon Marine Varnish.
