Step
One:
Mask woodwork, floors, ceiling
and corners. Applying McCloskey
Special Effects Base Coat.
Begin by cutting in corners
and edges with a high-quality
nylon-bristle brush. Paint
large areas with a high-quality
short, 3/8" nap roller
cover. Roll full length from
ceiling to floor to eliminate
lap marks. Allow to dry for
a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight.
Step
Two:
Reapply tape, if necessary,.
Using the Color Washing Brush,
apply glaze in a 4 –to 6-
foot square area, in random
X patterns. Work quickly,
overlapping strokes while
glaze is still wet.
Step
Three:
When your reach a masked area
or corner, cut in a thin line
of glaze right up to the taped
edge. Using a smaller X pattern,
blend the glaze into the adjacent
section of the wall.
Professional
Tip:
For a softer, more blended
look, dry brush the wet glaze
with the Softening Brush.
Professional
Tip: Uniform corners are
easy to achieve by applying
your technique to opposite
walls so that one wall of
your corner will always be
dry. Mistakes on the dried
surface can then be easily
removed, without damaging
your finished technique.
