Frensheen - How To Use

Preparation

• Watch our video on Frenchic TV for a great demo and tips for using Frensheen
• Ensure the surface to be painted is suitably prepared. Clean, dry and in good condition
• You can watch our video on how to prepare surfaces for painting here
• Transfer the required amount of your chosen medium (top coat or wax) to a suitable container
• Carefully add a spoonful of the Frensheen powder (the product is very lightweight so take care when handling) and mix slowly to form a smooth glaze - adding more as required to reach the consistency of cream - wax will be thicker
• The more powder you add, the stronger the metallic effect - however, avoid adding so much that the texture of the glaze is gritty. Add more of the medium to correct the consistency if necessary
• Stir thoroughly and repeatedly during the application phase

Application and drying

• A brush is recommended for application
• Drying time will depend on the medium but 60 mins is a rough estimate
• Add more coats are required
• Finish with a layer of the top coat or wax you are using as the medium

Clean up and storage

• Keep the lid on the unmixed powders
• Mixed glaze can be kept in an airtight container for a few days but will tend to harden over time
• Always mix thoroughly again before and during use
