Subtractive
Sponging
Applying the glaze in a jigsaw
pattern, with sections no
larger than 2 to 4 feet wide.
Apply the glaze to the first
piece. While the glaze is
wet, dab a clean, damp sea
sponge onto the surface, lifting
enough of the glaze to let
the background color show
through. Leave an area about
6" wide along the edge
of the glaze untouched. Apply
the next section right up
to (but not overlapping) the
6" area. Then begin sponging
off the previously untouched
6" area.
Step
One:
Apply base Coat. Remember,
remove tape if you are not
completing your project the
same day.
Step
Two:
Reapply tape. Using a premium
quality roller, apply an even
coat of Special Effects Translucent
Color, Opal or Pearl Glaze
in random sections, resembling
a jigsaw puzzle. Proceed to
the next step quickly, before
the glaze begins to dry.
Step
Three:
Using a damp, clean natural
sea sponge, dab the first
section of glaze with a light
blotting motion, vary the
position of the sponge as
you work. When the sponge
becomes saturated with glaze,
rinse in water and wring out
well. Use a smaller sponge
for corners and tight areas.
