FX Australia Tips & Hints

The FX Australia Wash Range

• The Wash Range of products are flat finishes, which are perfect for walls with slight imperfections.

• When using a cheesecloth for ragging ensure the cloth is damp. If bubbles appear on the surface during application this means your cloth contains an excessive amount of water.

• When using FX Australia Lime Wash roll on the first coat and brush on the second coat using a wide brush. For additional effect wait until the second coat is dry then use a small amount of product and randomly brush over the surface area.

The FX Australia Metallic Range

• For ease of application ensure your base coat is a satin acrylic. Tint the base coat to match your chosen colour for better coverage.

• Remember a metallic product is satin or gloss in sheen hence it will show any imperfections more profoundly. Check wall conditions before using a metallic product.

• For something different brush one coat of the FX Metallic and allow to dry. Then brush on another FX Metallic (different colour) and use a plastic bag or chamois to achieve a dramatic effect.

The FX Australia Stucco and Textured Range

• It is most important to use a professional applicator to achieve the best results when choosing a stucco or textured product.

• Always use a stainless steel stucco trowel/spatula.

• Never apply stucco wax using a rag.

• Ensure each coat is applied smoothly. Any lumps or bumps will be hard to rectify later.

The FX Australia Pearl & Glaze Range

• When using FX Glazes for marbling use an angle brush to achieve veins. Do not complicate the finish by using too many colours or veins. Simple is always best!

• FX Australia Tintable Pearl looks good on doors as well as walls.
