Painting Instructions:

Step 1.  Secure stencil to surface.  Apply the Fine Garnet Gel through the stencil with a spackle knife or texture blade.  Remove the stencil and allow to dry.

Step 2.  Create a glaze from mixing Burnt Umber Light and Low Viscosity Glaze at a ratio that provides the color strength desired.

Step 3.  Following the pattern design from the Mad Stencilist’s directions, apply the glaze to the darkest areas, softening outwards to create the illusion of three dimensions.  Allow to dry.

Clean Up:  Wash hands and tools in soap and water.  Keep tools wet while working to prevent permanent adhesion of the acrylic materials.

Surface Preparation:

General: A clean, wax free, non-greasy surface is recommended.  High gloss surfaces may need scuffing to improve adhesion.  GOLDEN Glaze is formulated to work best over a satin sheen base coat.  Gels and texture products may be put over any sheen base coat.

Masonry/Stucco: New masonry needs to be fully cured and primed with a suitable masonry primer.

Wood: Raw wood may be painted or stained directly, but be aware that water based materials can cause grain raising.  See “General” instructions above for guidance on previously painted surfaces.

Metal: Painting direct to metal requires a suitable primer for the specific metal type.  See “General” instructions above for guidance on previously painted surfaces.

Glass: Painting direct to glass is possible; primers and GOLDEN GAC 200 aid in adhesion.

Fabric, Canvas, and Paper: Paint direct or use GOLDEN Mediums as a size, to increase launderability or seal the surface.
