Elmwood mineral fusion paint
Superior to English and American chalk paints, ultra-adhesive FUSION mineral paint can be applied to all surfaces 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, though you may apply one to create glossier or distressed effects or to increase water and friction resistance. 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 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 "BLUE JEANS" SYNTHETIC BRISTLE BRUSH OR, FOR A SMOOTHER FINISH, USE A VERY DENSE BRISTLE 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 the areas you wish to distress. WARNING: 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 surfaces with SIASPONGE flexible waterproof abrasive sponges.
Although not mandatory, adding a topcoat will improve 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 Fusion protective sealant or a varnish such as Blanchon Initial for surfaces exposed to moisture and abrasion. For outdoor surfaces, use Blanchon Marine Varnish.
