Rust Effect is water soluble. Rust Effect can be wiped off surfaces in two ways (even when fully dry): Very light shades can be obtained by dabbing a very small quantity when it has slightly dried, similar to the “dry brushing” technique. To darken the shade apply more coats. Allow each coat to fully dry before applying another. Any number of coats of paint can be applied over the top of each other. For a broken, patchy effect apply to small areas/patches at a time and allow to dry – more in some areas, less in others. Smear the spray by re-wetting with water, and then dabbing or rubbing with a damp or wet cloth. With some fabrics it’s easier to smear by wetting the sprayed fabric and then rubbing the wet area together between your hands. Smearing is easier when the spray is still wet, but is also possible after the spray has fully dried. It may not be possible to smear spray applied to absorbent surfaces. Dip the brush and immediately apply to the surface. For a patchy effect dab the paint onto a surface and keep dabbing in the same place until the paint dries. Any number of coats can be applied in this way. For a more even effect paint an even coat onto a surface. A dry, damp or wet brush can be used

Stiff Brush: Very light shades can be obtained by dabbing a very small quantity of paint onto a surface using a stiff brush. Allow the paint to dry slightly on the brush for a very light effect, similar to the “dry brushing” painting technique. Spray paint onto a surface straight from the pot using an air brush or pressure pot spray gun. Clean air brush immediately after use. Apply a small amount of water to the rust paint and either allow to dry on its own, or dry by dabbing with a piece of kitchen roll or tissue. This usually causes the colours to separate and dry different shades and more patchy. Before use: Thoroughly shake the pot with the ball bearing rattling and t horoughly stir inside the pot with an old brush until all the lumps are gone.

Dip the brush and immediately apply to the surface. For a patchy effect dab the paint onto a surface and keep dabbing in the same place until the paint dries. Any number of coats can be applied in this way. For a more even effect paint an even coat onto a surface. Gently press the damp flat end of kitchen roll against the dried rust paint, and twist the kitchen roll. To fill dents and grooves in surfaces, first cover the surface with paint, and then wipe the paint off the raised areas with a damp cloth (at an angle to the grooves), leaving some of the paint trapped. The wetter the cloth, the more paint removed. To fill dents and groovesin surfaces, first cover the surface with rust paint, and then wipe the paint off the raised areas with a damp cloth (at an angle to the grooves), leaving some of the paint trapped. The wetter the cloth, the more paint removed. Only apply to non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal. Do not apply to porous/absorbent surfaces such as bare timber or paper. Rust paint can be applied to painted surfaces, but test first. If the effect does not form, try first sealing the surface with varnish.

Rust paint is water soluble and the effects of painting will be lost by washing in water or by getting wet, but there may still be staining. Do not expose rust paint to rain or splashing with water. Apply the paint to a surface and apply a small amount of water to the paint as it dries. This usually causes the colours to separate and dry different shades and more patchy.Only apply to non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal. Do not apply to porous/absorbent surfaces such as bare timber or paper. The paint can be applied to painted surfaces, but test first. If the effect does not form, try first sealing the surface with varnish. The mixture will settle on the bottom of the pot. It’s very important to thoroughly shake the pot with the ball bearings rattling before each and every use. Thoroughly stir the mixture and ensure that solids on the bottom of the pot are fully mixed into the liquid. Repeat stirring and shaking until all lumps have gone. It’s much better to shake and stir rust paint when the pot is at room temperature or warmer. If the pot is cold it may not be possible to fully mix any solids into the liquid. Remove most of the water from the flat end so that it’s only slight damp. This can be done by pushing the flat end against other dry pieces of kitchen roll.

Hold can upright 30cm (12 inches) away from the surface, and spray across the surface in one smooth sweep, keeping the nozzle fully depressed. Spots of concentrated dye may appear if the button is only partially depressed. The dark coloured liquiddries to a high matt rust colourin 1 to 5 minutes depending on the temperature.
