Effect Spatula

Substrate and preparation
To achieve optimum results, please observe the technical data sheets for all products used. The substrate must be chemically neutral, solid, dry, clean, free of grease and dust and free of penetrating substances. Depending on the desired result, first treat the substrate with LEINOS smoothing and textured filler 684 and with Deep Sealer 620 prime diluted 1:1 with water. Alternatively with Natural Resin Emulsion Paint 660 apply an opaque coat to obtain a finely textured substrate. Mix the effect filler 632 with approx. 10 Pigment Concentrate 668 colour individually. To achieve pastel shades, use half of the colour Pigment Concentrate 668 white and another coloured Pigment Concentrate.

Processing
Room and surface temperature above 15 °C.

A. Filling:
Using a Japanese spatula or similar, apply a thin layer of the coloured Effect Spatula 632 in the desired technique. At least 2, preferably 3 coats should be applied. This can be done in the same or different colours. The previous coat must be dry.

B. Post-processing:
After drying, the coloured wall can be polished with a lambskin polishing disc to a silky sheen. Additional protection of the surface can be achieved by the further use of LEINOS Wall Wax 350. Waxing considerably increases transparency and colour depth.

C. Tip:
LEINOS recommends trying out the filler on a coated sample panel first in order to be able to assess the choice of colour and technique.

Drying time
Can be ploughed over after 2-3 hours, polishable after approx. 24 hours.

Consumption
Between 30 and 70 g/m² per coat, depending on the type of design and application method.
