Carriage House mineral fusion paint
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, just as authentic as milk paint. Fusion paint does not require a topcoat, but 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 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 LAYER OF HOMESTEAD HOUSE BONDING 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. STIR PAINT WELL BEFORE APPLICATION. ALL COLORS CAN BE MIXED TOGETHER TO CREATE A MULTITUDE OF SHADES.
To create a distressed effect: use the wax resist bar to prevent the paint from adhering to the areas you wish to distress. ATTENTION: Varnish does 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 abrasive sponges.
Although it is not mandatory, adding a finish 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, 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 like Blanchon Initial for surfaces exposed to moisture and abrasion. For exterior surfaces, use Blanchon Marine Varnish.
