Fusion Mineral Paint Conservatory
This soothing lavender brings out strong mauve undertones for a nuanced shade reminiscent of dried lavender at twilight.
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 as authentic as milk paint. Fusion paint does not require a topcoat, though you can apply one to create glossier or patinated effects or to increase its water and friction resistance. Fusion Mineral Paint is very 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 SYNTHETIC "BLUE JEANS" BRISTLE BRUSH
OR FOR A SMOOTHER FINISH, USE A VERY DENSE SYNTHETIC BRISTLE BRUSH LIKE 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 look: use the wax stick to prevent the paint from adhering to the areas you wish to distress. WARNING: Varnish does not adhere to wax.
FINISHING: 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 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 colorless or colored Carbamex paste wax to create patinas.
Wait 24 hours after application before applying the Fusion Tough Coat sealer or a varnish like Blanchon Initial for surfaces exposed to moisture and abrasion. For outdoor surfaces, use Blanchon Marine Varnish.
