CREA CHALK PAINT PLUS

You can create various aesthetic effects using Crea Chalk Paint Plus, according to how the product is applied.
Vintage Effect on new wood:
- Lightly sand the surface to remove dirt and imperfections that may cause undesired effects in the finish. Crea Chalk Paint Plus is easy to use on soft woods such as pine, spruce, mukali or poplar. It can be applied on harder woods but may deteriorate very quickly if the wood is not appropriately treated. - Remove the sanding dust with a damp cloth.
- Apply a layer of Crea Chalk Paint Plus. Do not dilute the product but do lightly dampen the brush to help to spread the paint. If you wish to leave application marks in order to create a more rustic effect, apply in brush strokes without spreading the paint out completely. Leave to dry for 2 -3 hrs.
- If you are applying the product on hard woods such as teak, apply two coats. Dilute the first coat by 5 to 10%, according to the state of the wood.
- Once the paint is dry, rub the whole surface using a green scouring sponge or soft sandpaper. Apply more pressure on the corners and edges and also in the areas where you want to reveal the natural wood base. This friction will create dust that will then need to be removed from the surface.
- Once you have achieved your desired aged effect, you can leave the applied product as it is, smooth and powdery to the touch, as long as the surface is not going to be subject to continued use that may damage the finish. In this case, we recommend using Crea Protector Chalk Paint to protect it against use and harsh environmental conditions.
- Protect exterior wooden surfaces from attacks by fungus and xylophagous insects using Klearxyl Di Anti-wood borers.
