Fusion Iron Clay Mineral Paint

A true terracotta, as its name suggests. Iron Clay brings earthy warmth and rustic character to your space.

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 distressed effects, or to increase its 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.

Features:

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 SHOULD BE APPLIED WITH A SYNTHETIC "BLUE JEANS" 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 puck to prevent the paint from adhering to areas you wish to distress. WARNING: Varnish will not adhere to wax.

FINISHING: THE PAINT IS DRY TO THE TOUCH AFTER TWO TO THREE HOURS.

To create an antique (distressed) effect, sand 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 sealer or a varnish like Blanchon Initial for surfaces exposed to moisture and abrasion. For outdoor surfaces, use Blanchon Marine Varnish.
