They are not a detail; they are not a synthetic film; they are not decoupage. When you apply an IOD paint inlay, artisanal paint is embedded into your service in the paper is removed, leaving an authentic painted design & a buttery almost leather like surface on your piece. IOD paint & lays are made from a proprietary artist quality paint which we formulated specifically for decorative use. They are organic in nature & the transfer of the painted design will be slightly varied & unique for each individual. The results are visually interesting, texturally complex, & often inherently distressed. The paint formula is active until sealed. That means that you can manipulate it & apply special techniques or a custom touch before you seal your piece. And, as if once isn't enough, you can often get a beautifully faded second impression, with a residual pigment on your left over inlay sheets. Depending on the techniques & colors you're using with your paint inlay, sometimes you can even get a third impression! An important note: for the best results with a basic application, use a chalk type paint that does not contain polymers. STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS: 1.) Plan the Layout of your designs for your surface. 2.) Using the grids on the back of the inlay sheet, trim as needed & set aside. If you are using a repeat pattern & lining the pattern up continuously, then trim excess margin on each sheet. 3.) On an appropriately prepared surface, apply a generous & even coat of a mineral based chalk-type paint. Work in small sections to manage the paint-drying window as you work. Generally not larger than 12"x16" 4.) While paint is still wet, lay the paint inlay sheet, design side down (grids are printed on the back for easy identification of front & back), into the wet paint, keeping it taut. 5.) Spritz lightly with an even mist of water. Using a smooth, damp sponge or folded soft cloth, pat down with light & even pressure to make sure the design makes good contact with the painted surface.
