Preparation

Preparation

Back

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

Back

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 a room temperature that will exceed 10ºC during the drying period.

  • With starting in the top left hand corner apply Craig And Rose Artisan Chalk Wash Effect 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
