  • Where an accelerated rate of drying is desired, FauxCrème Color™; may be thinned with Blending Solvent™.
  • Always make a sample to ensure the desired result.
  • When Blending Solvent™is mixed into FauxCréme® Clear and FauxCrème Color™;, the shelf life of the mixture is 2 to 3 months when stored in optimum conditions.
  • Colored glaze mixtures that have Blending Solvent™ in the mix will react more strongly when Activator II™; is applied to the glazed work surface. Varying the ratios and experimentation are recommended to achieve the desired result.
  • Take care to create a very smooth SetCoat™; base–this is important to achieve a good quality faux marble. It is also important to use SetCoat™; as a base to guarantee that the unique reaction occurs between the Blending Solvent™,FauxCréme® Clear and FauxCrème Color™;.
  • Mix realistic marble colors using a combination of FauxCrème Color™; FauxCréme® Clear and approximately 10% Blending Solvent™.
  • Randomly apply 2 to 3 marble color mixtures over the SetCoat™; base by sprayer or brush. Create marble-like patterns and flow using Cheesecloth/terrycloth, making sure to vary the color intensity.
  • While still wet, cover the glazed surface with paper that has been torn into stone-like shapes. Press them flat into the glaze. Make sure to create a marble-like pattern, using a picture reference if necessary.
  • Carefully pad off any excess glaze from between the paper shapes.
  • Blot on a thin layer of the fourth complimentary marble color using Cheesecloth as your application tool. Blot and manipulate this mixture using the Cheesecloth until a random pattern has been established.
  • Allow the work surface to dry for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, and then remove the torn paper shapes.
  • When fully dry apply a layer of ColorSeal™; over the surface. Allow this layer to dry 8 hours or overnight depending on the drying conditions. Follow this step with 1 to 2 coats of AquaGard™, AquaThane™, or Varnish Plus™. This will add depth and dimension to your finish as well as added protection.
