Description
Posh Chalk Patina - Oil Based Posh Chalk Patinas are oil-based products that are perfect for ageing surfaces. They are great for giving a project depth. Apply sparingly & then buff to produce a lovely glowing patina. They can be applied using a brush, or lightly stroking with your fingers if you are a hands-on kind of crafter. Available in a range of 6 beautiful colors. PRO TIP:: Even the smallest stroke of these waxes gives a fabulous coverage, so no need to be heavy handed with your application. There are currently two types of Posh Chalk Patinas, there are the original oil-based patinas which are available in a more traditional, color palette such as Black, Copper & Pale Gold. These oil-based patinas were actually based on a product used to restore old churches, they have a hard wax-like consistency & last forever as you really do need the smallest amount. Patience is a virtue This is very true of all sorts of creative projects really, all too often we can get carried away wanting to push on with a project when really we should be letting the paint settle & the WoodUbend adhere. This goes for the Posh Chalk Patinas too - much like the innovative heat bendable decorative wooden mouldings - the Patinas can be used on just about any surface, but they must be left to cure. If you've used the Patinas on a porous surface you can expect a curing time of four days up to a week, depending on the humidity; the more humid it is, the longer it will take the Patinas to cure. If you've used the Patinas on a non-porous surface such as metal or glass, then the curing time is likely to increase. It makes sense if you think about it, if you've used the Patinas on a porous surface some of it can get absorbed by the surface itself - giving a rich deep finish. If the Patinas have been used on a non-porous surface, the curing process is going to take a little longer as there is no absorption happening. There is some good news for those of you who are a little impatient though, the water-based Aqua Patinas take less time to cure than the oil-based patinas! A good litmus test to check if your Patinas have cured is to just feel it, if it's still a little tacky or some of the colour comes off on your hand then it's not quite ready just yet.
