Step
One:
Apply Base Coat
Step
Two:
Roll on Lime Wash using a
special Texture Roller Cover,
working 4 x 4 foot sections.
Apply randomly, allowing much
of the Base Coat to show through
and creating a "stipple"
pattern. Lime Wash will begin
to dry in about 10 minutes.
Do not allow it to dry completely
before moving to Step 3.
Step
Three:
Knock down the texture using
a 6" wallboard trowel.
Using a gentle touch, slide
the trowel over the Lime Washed
surface, ideally knocking
off just the tips of the stipple
left by the texture roller.
Be careful not to gouge the
Lime Washed surface with the
corners of the trowel. Blend
adjacent 4’ x 4’ areas together
before the Lime Wash dries
completely to avoir "seams".
Step
Four:
Allow Lime Wash to dry overnight.
To further highlight your
troweled surface, over glaze
with Translucent Color, Opal,
Pearl, or Metallic Glazes.
Using the Color Washing Brush,
apply your desired glaze in
a random pattern, allowing
your brush to completely dry
out before reloading with
additional glaze. Soften brush
marks with a cheesecloth if
desired.
Professional Tip: For
best results practice this
technique before you begin.
