Metallic Fusion Mineral Paint
Superior to both British and American chalk paints, ultra-adhesive FUSION mineral paint can be applied to any surface without the need for a primer or undercoat. It is ready to use and provides a matte finish, just as authentic as milk paint. Fusion paint does not require a topcoat, but you may choose to apply one to create more lustrous or distressed effects, or to increase its resistance to water and friction. Fusion mineral paint is highly durable and easy to apply. It offers excellent coverage, which in almost all cases requires only a single 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 Ultra Grip first.
Application:
Fusion can be applied with a "Blue Jeans" synthetic filament brush, or for a smoother finish, use a very dense synthetic 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 puck to prevent the paint from adhering to 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 using SIASPONGE flexible waterproof abrasive sponges.
Although not mandatory, adding a topcoat will improve the sheen, durability, and make the painted surface much easier to maintain.
Apply wax after 4 hours. You can use Fusion wax, Homestead House waxes, and clear or colored Carbamex paste wax to create patinas.
Wait 24 hours after application before applying the Fusion Tough Coat sealer or a varnish such as Blanchon Initial for surfaces exposed to moisture and abrasion. For outdoor surfaces, use Blanchon Marine Varnish.
