Elmwood mineral paint
With brown origins, this dark neutral shade is inspired by cocoa tones. A complex hue with lingering gray undertones for a warm and charming look.
Superior to English and American chalk paints, ultra-adhesive FUSION mineral paint can be applied to any surface without the need for 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 topcoat, but you can apply one to create glossier or antiqued effects or to increase its resistance to water and abrasion. Fusion mineral paint is highly durable and easy to apply. It offers excellent coverage, which 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 MUST 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 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 effect: use the wax puck 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 (distressed) effect, sand the surfaces with SIASPONGE flexible waterproof sanding sponges.
Although not mandatory, adding a topcoat will improve the sheen and durability, and will make the painted surface much easier to maintain.
Apply a wax after 4 hours. You can use Fusion wax, Homestead House waxes, or clear or colored Carbamex paste wax to create patinas.
Wait 24 hours after application before applying the Fusion protective topcoat or a varnish like Blanchon Initial for surfaces exposed to moisture and abrasion. For outdoor surfaces, use Blanchon Marine Varnish.
