COLOR WASH MINERAL GLAZE FOR DECORATIVE PAINT TECHNIQUES
Say goodbye to ordinary paint and hello to stunning, tone-
on-tone walls that exude elegance.
This translucent glaze allows you to effortlessly achieve the fine look of limewash while taking the guesswork out of coordinating perfect colors for your decor. Made with natural mineral ingredients, Color Wash Glaze is safe and healthy for everyone, even those with allergies and chemical sensitivity. Keim paints are free from VOCs, preservatives, harsh chemicals, and antimicrobial additives, so you can feel good about your choice for your home and the environment. Here's how to achieve the perfect finish: 1. Apply Color Wash First Coat as a base layer — its ideal off-white color sets the stage for your project. 2. 2. Use a special brush to apply the ready-to-use glaze,
creating subtle tonal color variations that suit your style.
3. 3. Let the glaze dry, and admire your work of art adorning the walls. Elevate your living space with Color Wash Glaze and create luxurious, sophisticated finishes while prioritizing health and sustainability.
HOW TO Apply Color Wash Mineral Glaze
The glaze is ready to use. Shake the glaze to blend and pour it into a small paint tray or bucket. Dip the color wash brush into the glaze and let the excess glaze drip back into the bucket. The glaze is relatively thin. Apply the glaze from the bottom to the top of the wall working in sections you can complete quickly and easily. If the glaze color is too concentrated, immediately wipe off the glaze with a damp cloth. Add Color Wash Clear Dilution to the glaze in your bucket to make it more transparent and less concentrated. Keep track of how much dilution you add to keep mixing a consistent color concentration. Work the color wash brush in an “X” pattern, spreading the glaze as thin as possible. To achieve a multi-tonal color, you should overlap some areas while other areas retain only one coat of glaze. Overlapping the glaze yields more color. Remember, the thinner the glaze, the more natural the look. If you work your brush until it is completely dry, you will generate less color. Remember, your goal here is a random technique, not a perfect painting form. Vary the size of your “X” pattern and work from the bottom to the top of the wall. If the glaze runs, it will run into the wet glaze, and you can quickly blend away the runners. A few dry edges are OK, enhancing the unique and desired effect. Step back frequently from your work to gain perspective and be sure you are achieving a similar look across the wall area. The finished glaze should dry for 4 — 8 hours, ideally overnight. You can apply a second coat of glaze for even more color and depth. Troubleshooting If you get too much glaze in any area, use the Color Wash Dilution to “dissolve” and rearrange the excess glaze/color. If your glaze is drying very quickly, you can use the Dilution to pretreat the First Coat to dampen it, then proceed with your glaze technique. Think of the dilution as your problem-solver. Cleanup Wash spills, drips, and tools immediately with warm, soapy water. Also, wash your hands and skin immediately to avoid skin irritation from the alkaline pH. Consult the technical data sheet for complete details and cautions.
HOW TO Apply Color Wash First Coat
Creating a porous, mineral base layer is essential to good results. You cannot apply Color Wash Mineral Glaze to latex/acrylic surfaces, as it will not bond and will most likely run off the smooth latex surface. Applying the First Coat is easy. Make sure your walls are clean and dry. Fill in any nail holes or other imperfections with spackle, and sand if necessary. Brush in small areas, then roll on a uniform layer of First Coat, avoiding runs and sags. The wall area should be fully covered with First Coat. Allow to dry for 4 hours or overnight. Clean up tools with water, and immediately clean up spills before the First Coat dries, or it will be difficult to remove.
