3. Apply the diluted UNiCORN SPiT to the bare surface once it is completely void of all oil, sealer, dirt, grime, paint, stain, or anything that may inhibit the product from making contact with the bare porous surface.
4. Continue to add or blend multiple colors to the surface in separate areas creating designs to achieve the desired look.
5. Allow to dry. Dry time is approximately 3 minutes to 48 hours (depending on material, humidity and temperature) or until a chalky finish appears.
6. After drying, lightly buff the surface with a fine grade sandpaper (120-220 grit) or extra-fine steel wool (following the grain) to remove any excess or clumps, if desired.
7. Dust thoroughly.
8. Seal with FAMOWOOD GLAZE COAT or most any oil-based coating/sealer. For better protection, repeat coats of sealer as indicated on the product instructions. High Gloss Sealers will help achieve a three-dimensional look.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS AN ALCOHOL INK:
1. Mix UNiCORN SPiT with 5-20 parts 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. 2. Mix well.
3. Apply and Seal using common alcohol ink practices.
4. Higher alcohol ratio will achieve a lighter pigment. Lower ratio alcohol will achieve a deeper / stronger pigment. You may need to strain minerals out before use with light colored UNiCORN SPIT.
5. Mix colors to achieve custom colors.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS AN EPOXY / RESIN TINT:
1. Mix epoxy or resin per manufacturer’s directions.
2. Once mixed accordingly, add UNiCORN SPiT to your selected batches of epoxy/ resin during the beginning of allotted work time.
3. Ration 10-20 parts Epoxy/Resin to 1 part SPiT. The lower ration of SPiT results a more translucent effect.
TIPS TO CREATE VARIOUS FINISHES:
Intermingle chalky paint finishes, acrylic paint, plaster, decoupage metallic mediums or metallic spray paint with UNiCORN SPiT to achieve unique finishes. Topcoats must be oil-based. Water-based coatings will alter the look of UNiCORN SPiT.
CUSTOM COLORS:
Most water-based paints (chalk, mineral, acrylic or latex based) can be mixed with UNiCORN SPiT to create custom colors.
