We all know how important it is to have a super durable finish.Β Fusion Mineral PaintΒ is very durable just as it is, however what if you want to add an additional layer of protection? We have a new product weβve come out with calledΒ Gel Stain & Topcoat!
What isΒ Gel Stain?Β It is an Oil Based polyurethane brush or roll-on stain and topcoat all-in-one product that can be applied to virtually any surface with no prep, other than removing dust and grease. It is a fantastically durable product.Β In fact, it is so durable it can be used as a protective topcoat for table tops or flooring. Once applied it only takes 5 days to cure!Β It can help to even out scratches, discoloration etc. Used as a stain it can change the colour of a current surface, or with several coats applied it will act as a solid colour. It provides a beautiful durable finish. Featured here below is βPatinaβ which makes for a perfect topcoat that is easy to clean. Β

While we typically suggest usingΒ Gel StainΒ which is oil-based over our darkerΒ colours as a topcoat as all oil-based products are yellow, in this article we will show the lovely effect it can have used over a light colourΒ creating aΒ PatinaΒ effect. Β
