Extender
Our Extender is great for those who want a longer open time with the paint, to help minimize the look of brush strokes and to extend drying time.
Painting in a dry climate or a space with low humidity? You may find your paint dries too fast. Buy yourself time with our uniquely formulated non-toxic extender � simply add it to the paint and you�ll have more time to brush back and forth to get the look you�re after!
The recommended ratio of 15 mL per pint (500 mL) of paint.
Using too much of this product will increase drying time substantially, but also increases cure time.
Coverage
1 bottle is good for 2-4 pints of paint. Adding more is not recommended as it will impact your drying and curing time.Directions
Add 15ml to 500ml of paint. Once mixed with Fusion&Trade; Mineral Paint, apply paint as usual. You will notice a longer open drying time, thus giving you time to work with the paint and smooth out brush strokes.
Once your first coat fully dries, apply a subsequent coat as needed. We recommend waiting a minimum of 4 hours between coats when using the Extender. Do not reapply prior to the first coat being fully dry.
