Overview
Overview
Craig and Rose Artisan Chalk Wash Effect is a water based paint designed to produce a translucent finish to the base coat that is imitative of wash paints. Best used over either a contrasting or harmonious emulsion paint and it is capable of producing a tone and hue that is unique and effective.
Designed to be used in conjunction with the Craig and Rose 1829 range:
Preparation
Preparation
To achieve the best results the surface needs to be clean, structurally stable and free of dirt, dust and surface impurities.
- Remove any old, substandard and defective paint by either using a paint scraper, paint stripper or sanding down the project area
- Extra caution should be taken if removing pre 1960s paint as this could contain hazardous levels of lead
- If the project area shows signs of grease or oil, then wash with a suitable detergent and allow to dry thoroughly
- Repair any defects such as cracks or holes with a suitable filler to produce a surface free of imperfections
- If necessary, sand the project area to produce a flat smooth surface
- When applying to new plaster pre-mist the project area or seal the plaster with an appropriate plaster sealer
- If using two or more tins from different batches, then blend the paint together to ensure a consistent hue and tone of colour
- Apply your chosen base colour, such as Craig and Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion Paint ensuring that the steps needed for applying this paint are followed
- Once the base coat has been applied, give sufficient drying time with a minimum of 7 days before applying Craig And Rose Artisan Chalk Wash Effect to give the basecoat sufficient time to fully cure and harden
Application
Application
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess the suitability of the product and the finish.
Use only in well ventilated areas.
- With starting in the top left hand corner apply using a wide brush, 50-75mm (2-3 inches), in a random pattern
- It is important to guarantee that a coverage is achieved and that no areas are left uncovered
- Once the application process has been started it is important to continue until the entire area is covered, without pausing or stopping
- Apply in 1 metre areas and whilst Craig And Rose Artisan Chalk Wash Effect is still damp, use either a muslin cloth or sponge to create the desired pattern effect
- If a muslin cloth is used then regularly re-scrunch the cloth to change and alter the shape
- Ideally, the application can be performed by 2 people, with one person applying Craig And Rose Artisan Chalk Wash Effect followed closely the the second person with the muslin rag or sponge
- Only one need to be applied and avoid going over completed work for a second time
