Clear Prep+Finish™ dried too shiny.

Clear Prep+Finish™, when applied with a sponge, dries quite glossy. This is because the sponge applies a thicker film than spraying, for example.

• 0:25 – Optimal sponge moisture level and application
• 0:57 – Finished result shows how the Clear deepens the color by adding shine
• 1:15 – Don’t like the Clear finish? Go right over it with more color.

This can be mitigated a number of ways:

• Use one sponge to apply the Clear. Before it begins to dry, go over it with a second damp sponge to thin it out.
• Work with a glaze (mixture of Clear and color) for a satin finish.
• Or go over the Clear completely with more color for a more matte finish.

Dull and satin acrylic-urethane finishes are available upon request.
