FauxFinishing
Title: How to Frottage
By: Glen
Hall
This
finish looks like a aged weathered plaster
wall when done in soft
earthy colors.
TOOLS:
Latex paint, glaze, extender, bucket,
painters tape, tray & roller,
paint brush, brown kraft paper enough to
cover wall surface
SURFACE PREPARATION
* a clean latex eggshell finish.
* mask off areas not to be painted
* lay drop sheets down
* cut kraft paper to aprox. 4' lengths
* crumple up paper, then smooth out
APPLICATION
1. Mix 1 part paint & 5 parts glaze
in a large bucket
2. For a whole room add a container 500
ml. of extender
3. Stir well
4. Pour glaze mixture into paint tray
5. Roll out a 4'x4' section
6. Apply smoothed kraft paper to section
7. Peel off
HINTS
Make sure you do not texture the outer 4"
section, this is called
the wet edge blend it in with your next 4'x4'
section. If you do not do this you will have
lap lines. For getting into the corners and
ceiling line use a stiff brush and a quick
jabbing action to bring the glaze to that
area. If you want to layer a second color
wait 4 hours for the first to dry. It is best
to do this technique with a buddy. One person
applying the glaze, the other texturing.
DO NOT CHANGE JOB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WALL.
Do the two opposite wall
same day, let dry. then the other two the
next.
Please do some sample sheets first!!!!!
Work fast and have fun!
