Fusion mineral paint Picket Fence
Superior to English and American chalk paints, ultra-adhesive FUSION mineral paint can be applied to all surfaces without primer or undercoat. It is ready to use and provides a matte finish that is just as authentic as milk paint. Fusion paint does not require a top coat, but you can apply one to create glossier or antiqued effects or to increase its resistance to water and friction. Fusion mineral paint is highly durable and easy to apply. It offers excellent coverage that, in almost all cases, requires only one coat.

Preparation: The surface must be clean and dry. Clean with TSP phosphate-free organic 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 can be applied with a "Blue Jeans" synthetic bristle brush, or for a smoother finish, use a very dense bristle brush like the Staalmeester oval brush. It also applies very well with a roller. Mix the paint well before application. All colours can be mixed together to create a multitude of shades.
To create a distressed effect: use the wax puck to prevent the paint from adhering to the areas you wish to distress. WARNING: Varnish will not adhere to wax.
Finishing: The paint is dry to the touch after two to three hours.
To create an antique (distressed) effect, sand the surfaces with SIASPONGE flexible waterproof abrasive sponges.
Although not mandatory, adding a finish will improve the sheen and durability, and will make the painted surface much easier to maintain.
Apply wax after 4 hours. You can use Fusion wax, Homestead House waxes, or colourless or coloured 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.
