Preparing the Surface

Make sure surfaces are clean, dry and free of peeling paint. Use a primer on new wallboard. Use a base coat of Valspar paint under Metal & Patina Glaze. Allow base coat to dry 4 hours or overnight before applying glazes.

Application

1. Apply the base coat according to label instructions. 2. Apply Metal Glazes as outlined in the Valspar Signature Colors Faux How-to Guide. 3. Protect your decorative finish with Valspar Signature Colors Faux Clear Protector. Allow Metal and Patina Glaze to cure one week before applying clear coating.

Dry Time

This glaze will stay workable for up to 30 minutes. This allows you to work and re-work an area if needed. Avoid drafts from fans, open windows, etc. to prevent premature drying. Surface and air temperatures should be between 55-75°F. Wait 24 hours between coats.
