Craig & Rose Artisan Glitter Glaze

To achieve the optimum results the surface needs to be clean, structurally stable and free of dirt, dust and surface impurities. Also, the surface needs to be painted with a suitable matt emulsion paint

• Remove all loose and defective paint by either using a paint scraper, paint stripper or sanding down the project area
• Special care should be taken if removing pre 1960s paint as this could contain harmful levels of lead
• 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
• If the project area shows signs of grease or oil, then wash with a suitable detergent, rinse and allow to dry thoroughly
• 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 contrasting base colour, such as Craig and Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion Paint ensuring that it is a Matt finish rather than Silk or Satin sheen
• Once the base coat has been applied, give sufficient drying time with a minimum of 7 days before applying Craig And Rose Artisan Glitter Glaze to give the basecoat sufficient time to fully cure and harden
• Mask off the areas that you wish to remain uncovered by Craig and Rose Artisan Glitter Glaze to create interesting patterns and shapes on the walls

Always create a test area beforehand to evaluate the product suitability and the final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

• Mix and blend the glaze thoroughly, ensuring to work the sides and bottom of the tin, to comprehensively blend the pigment and the paint
• Pour into a small paint tray and load the roller as normal, taking care NOT to overload the roller
• Remove the excess glitter by rolling onto waste paper, such as paper kitchen roll or paper towel, until the roller is almost dry
• Before the full application, practice applying Craig and Rose Artisan Glitter Glaze on a large board, such as cardboard, or surface area
• Apply onto the surface with even vertical strokes
• If being applied by brush in small areas, then apply the strokes in a random pattern evenly over the area
• If being applied by Air assisted spray then there is no need to thin or dilute the glaze, just adjust the fan and pressure to achieve an even distribution
• It is recommended to apply two coats of Craig and Rose Artisan Glitter Glaze but more may be applied to create a stronger glitter effect if desired

Please Note:

• Do not apply over silk or satin finishes
• Do not apply over highly absorbent surfaces
