Preparing
the Surface :: Prior
to painting or faux finishing, make sure that the surface is clean
of any contaminants such as grease, wax, dirt or any other material
that would affect the adherence of paint to the surface. If peeling
paint, holes or cracks exist on the surface, they should be repaired
with spackle. Primer should then be applied on all patches. If wallpaper
has been removed, make sure that any paste residue is entirely cleaned
from the surface. Follow by applying a coat of primer to the surface.
New dry wall or plaster should have a coat of primer applied to seal
the surface.

Preparing the Room :: Apply
high quality 2" beige masking tape to protect areas such as woodwork,
ceiling, and any other areas that directly connect to the painting surface.
You should do a test area prior to the application of the masking tape
to ensure that it does not affect the areas that it is applied to. We
do not recommend the use of low adhesion or blue tape for this application
unless it is necessary. Low adhesion masking tape can allow the paint
to "seep" under the edges more easily than high adhesion tape.

Rolling Tip ::
Work in approximately a 3' x 3' area so that the glaze doesn't dry too
quickly.
