5 Easy Steps To Ragging Off
- Clean
and prepare walls with M83. Paint the walls with base coat; allow to
dry overnight.
- Mix
glaze: 5 parts Glazing Liquid, 1 part paint. Pour into the paint
tray.
- Working
in sections, roll the glaze onto the walls, starting in a corner and
covering an area approximately four-feet-by-four-feet.
- Using
a crumpled rag, pounce the surface where the glaze has been applied
to within 5 inches of the two open edges.
- Roll
out the next section, about the same size, back rolling into the
adjacent 5-inch wide wet edge. Follow steps 3 to 5 and continue with
ragging to complete all the walls.
Helpful Hints
- Always
choose a colour for the glaze deeper than you think you want. If not
it will be diluted by the clear Glazing Liquid.
- Be
sure you have a good supply of rags of a similar texture.
- When
a rag is saturated, lay it out to dry, then dispose of it. Do not
place it in the garbage while it's still wet.
