Fort York Red mineral fusion paint
Superior to English and American chalk paints, the ultra-adhesive FUSION mineral paint can be applied to any surface without 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 can certainly apply one to create lustrous or distressed effects, or to increase its water and abrasion resistance. Fusion mineral paint is highly durable and easy to apply. It offers excellent coverage that, 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 first applying a coat of Homestead House Adhesion Primer.
Application: Fusion should 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 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 stick to prevent the paint from adhering to the 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 using SIASPONGE flexible waterproof abrasive sponges.
Although not mandatory, adding a topcoat will enhance the luster and durability, and 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 Fusion Tough Coat or a varnish like Blanchon Initial for surfaces exposed to moisture and abrasion. For outdoor surfaces, use Blanchon Marine Varnish.
