INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
For best results when stenciling inside a tray or other similar object, you may need to trim the stencil to fit.
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Use a sponge brush and Whisper to paint the tray inside and outside.
- Use scissors to trim the stencil to lie flat inside the tray. (Optional: secure with painter's tape or hold with fingers while stenciling.)
- Load a cosmetic sponge with Relic. Pounce the sponge on a paper towel to remove excess paint. Lightly dab paint inside the stencil openings.
- Use sandpaper to distress the tray edges and stencil design. Remove any dust.
- Use a sponge brush or 1" flat brush to apply Ultra-Matte Varnish.
