3 Steps to Perfect Preparation
As any master knows, preparation is half the battle. While the excitement to create is undeniable, taking a little time for proper preparation ensures not only fantastic results but also saves you from unnecessary effort. Are you ready to take notes?
- Read and Protect: Start by carefully reading the instructions on your COSMOSLAC spray can and donning the necessary protective gear—masks, gloves, goggles, and more.
- Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated, free from dust, and maintains the right humidity levels for an impeccable finish.
- Surface Matters: Your chosen surface is your canvas, and its condition is vital. Clean it thoroughly, consider sanding or spot-sanding for better adhesion, eliminate dust and oils, and use masking tape to protect areas you don’t want to paint.
Pro Tip: Elevate your item on a bench for a better view and a more comfortable painting posture!
Nothing can stop you now! You have your COSMOSLAC spray of choice, you have the perfect environment to create, it’s show time:
Paint Like a Pro in 5 Easy Steps
- First things first: Shake your spray thoroughly for 2 minutes—don’t skip this crucial step.
- Test and Tune: Experiment with your spray on another surface, like a newspaper or a cardboard box, to find the right distance and speed. While COSMOSLAC sprays come with suggested paint distances, always establish your “rhythm” before painting directly on your project.
- Spray Steadily: Maintain a constant distance and speed as you apply a thin initial layer without aiming for full coverage. Keep your hand moving steadily, neither too fast nor too slow, to prevent paint from leaking.
- Layer with Patience: Wait 2 minutes for the first layer to dry slightly, then apply a second coat following the same technique.
- Repeat and Finish: Continue the process by applying thin coats, shaking the spray bottle frequently, until you’re satisfied with the surface coverage. Once done, turn the spray can upside down and continue spraying until clean gas emerges.
And that’s it! Allow your masterpiece to dry for a full 24 hours to ensure a perfect finish. While COSMOSLAC sprays may dry to the touch in just 10-15 minutes, patience pays off in the long run so give it a day to dry.
One last pro tip: It is always advisable to begin with a primer for every application—it’s the secret to a flawless finish.
Now, let your creativity soar and paint with confidence using COSMOSLAC.
