Tips For Suede
For best results, use a fan brush or flat brush that correlates in size to that of your project.
To apply product, use a loaded brush and paint on the surface with a crosshatch motion. With most surfaces, 2 coats will cover and saturate with color - be sure to allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second.
After letting the surface dry completely, apply the Suede Varnish using the same crosshatch method, as to not have combating surface textures.
Suede can also be used for stenciling. Simply set the stencil in place, secure with painters tape and use a flat brush to apply the paint through the stencil. Remove stencil immediately (do not wait for the Suede to dry as that may form a bridge with the stencil)
Suede looks great when applied on it's own but also looks beautiful as an accent along with one of our other DecoArt Products:
