Preparation

• Watch this video on Frenchic TV for a great demo and tips for using Frensheen

• Ensure the surface to be painted is suitably prepared. Clean, dry and in good condition

• You can watch this video on how to prepare surfaces for painting here

• Transfer the required amount of your chosen medium (top coat or wax) to a suitable container

• Carefully add a spoonful of the Frensheen powder (the product is very lightweight so take care when handling) and mix slowly to form a smooth glaze - adding more as required to reach the consistency of cream - wax will be thicker

• The more powder you add, the stronger the metallic effect - however, avoid adding so much that the texture of the glaze is gritty. Add more of the medium to correct the consistency if necessary

• Stir thoroughly and repeatedly during the application phase

 

Application and drying

• A brush is recommended for application

• Drying time will depend on the medium but 60 mins is a rough estimate

• Add more coats are required

• Finish with a layer of the top coat or wax you are using as the medium

 

Clean up and storage

• Keep the lid on the unmixed powders

• Mixed glaze can be kept in an airtight container for a few days but will tend to harden over time

• Always mix thoroughly again before and during use
