PREP ESSENTIALS
TSPΒ For Prepping Your Surface
A little prep goes a long way! For optimum results, itβs always best to spend a little time assessing and prepping your piece.Β Ensure your piece is free of dirt, oil, and grease. If there is a wax be sure to remove it with anΒ odourless solventΒ or mineral spirits.
TSPΒ is a water-based degreaser that cleans a painted surface prior to applying paint. It removes oil, grease, fingerprints, stains and other contaminants, which will improve the adhesion and the look of subsequent coatings.
Sanding Sponge
This is a fantastic finishing sponge for wet sanding after to create a super smooth finish. It can also be used to scuff the surface and dull down the sheen and finish of your surface so the paint can glide on beautifully and have a little more βtoothβ to grip onto!
ACCESSORIES
Staalmester Brush
TheΒ StaalmeesterΒ is the Rolls Royce of Brushes. A unique synthetic / natural bristle blend that has a short natural china bristle, blended with a longer silky synthetic bristle. The natural bristle ensures better paint absorption and the synthetic bristle component allows for a smooth, even application having minimal to no brush strokes.
Brush Soap
Do you have a favourite brush? Well, Fusion MineralΒ Brush SoapΒ will keep your bristles in optimal shape to give them that TLC that you need. Itβs soft on your hands and your bristles every time. As a bonus, this can also help clean your hands and your sink as well! Itβs super gentle and natural, and very effective!
Microfiber Roller
For the smoothest and most flawless finish, a microfiber roller is your best friend!
