What are Sparkling Sandstones?
Sparkling Sandstones are a non-toxic, water based, textured, acrylic stain. Sparkling Sandstones can be used on ceramic bisque, wood, plaster, Styrofoam, resin, concrete, picture frames, boxes, flowerpots, vases, wicker and terra cotta. The addition of these textured colors can give any plain surface a stone-like texture. Sparkling Sandstones will loose their “sparkling” character when covered with an opaque color. The whiter colors of the Sparkling Sandstones work the best for intermixing to create other shades of colors in this line. White Mica is preferred for this application.
How do I apply Sparkling Sandstones?
For best results use a stiff Fan Brush for over-all coverage. Two light
coats are better than one heavy coat, as the color can streak when over
brushed. A second coat will disperse the granules to the areas where they
may appear thinner. When using the fan brush to apply the color, apply
in a crosshatch application (short crisscross strokes), reloading the
brush often to distribute the color evenly.
Do Sparkling Sandstones need to be sealed?
Sealing of the Sparkling Sandstones is optional. Either matte or gloss
spray sealer can be used. However, spray sealing is highly recommended
for items that are to be used outdoors.When using the Sparkling Sandstones
on an item that is to be used in extremely wet conditions or on outdoor items,
the inside surface should also be sealed using AC-301 Repellent Sealer.
