Start by selecting a suitable area that provides enough room to move freely. To avoid unwanted paint splatters, cover your work surface with a drop cloth or a few sheets of newspaper.

Use a vacuum cleaner and<\/span> Colorantic Cleaner and Varnish Remover<\/a> to clean the fabric. Rinse the fabric well with hot water before continuing your work. <\/span><\/p>\n 2. Spray the fabric with a generous amount of water. This will open the fibers allowing the paint to penetrate well.<\/span><\/p>\n 3. Mix well and apply:<\/span><\/p>\n Apply three to four coats of the mixture, reducing the quantity of water in each coat, but always maintaining the same quantities of paint and glaze.<\/span><\/p>\n 4. Sand lightly between each coat and be sure to dust well before continuing.<\/span><\/p>\n \n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1000×1000-2.jpg” alt=”fabrics” title_text=”colorantic” align=”center” admin_label=”Colorantic” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 1. We recommend that you allow the paint to dry thoroughly for 24 hours before moving on to the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n 2. Once it is dry, you can now start applying the<\/span> Natural Beeswax<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3. Apply the wax in sections of approximately 2 square feet using our<\/span> XL and\/or 16 mm brushes<\/a>.<\/p>\n 4. Once the wax is applied, make sure to buff well using the paper towels. It is very important to change the paper towel frequently, as it will absorb the wax, making polishing more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n 5. When you have finished with the wax, we recommend that you allow the wax to dry for two weeks before using your chair.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.jpg” alt=”before” title_text=”after” align=”center” admin_label=”Colorantic” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n With these tips, you can now transform all your fabric items, so go ahead and unleash your inner artist and create stunning decorative accessories!
