APPLICATION CYCLE INSTRUCTIONS
BRUSH AND ROLLER APPLICATIONS
1ST COAT
Dilute Faux Real Mineral Paintwith 25% water, maximum 3.75 liters of water per one (1)
15-liter bucket of Faux Real Mineral Paint. Do not attempt to cover walls or surfaces with one (1)-coat as product will appear semi-transparent on 1st coat. Successive rolling will
create waste and will result in over-absorption of paint on wall and will not provide a satis
factory finish. Allow to dry for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour before applying 2nd coat.
2ND COAT
Dilute Faux Real Mineral Paint with 25% water, maximum 3.75 liters of water to one (1) 15-liter bucket. Apply paint in an even and constant pattern, so that a perfect coverage is
achieved.

material for back-rolling. Sprayed paint should be applied in short bursts to reduce quantity
of paint consumed.

use of back rolling, as this makes touch-ups difficult with rollers or brushes, and may result
in excessive waste of product to provide a uniform painted surface. Back rolling should be
performed with Product diluted at 25% water. Back rolling should occur only after initial
spray coat has visibly dried.

before attempting washing or applying additional products or other finishes. Complete
silicification only occurs after several days, and will increase to approximate full strength in
three (3)-months.
CONSUMPTION/COVERAGE
Approximately 2,800 ft2 / 260 mt2 per 15 liters bucket diluted with 3.75 liters water. Determine exact consumption by performing a test on the surface to be treated.
PACKAGING
