Have you got a picture frame that would make the perfect chalkboard? Go ahead β Β paint the glass!Β Do you have slick-looking varnish to paint over or a laminate cupboard?Β Guess what β you can paint them all withΒ Fusionβ’ Mineral Paint! If you have a super slick surface that you just donβt think a light sanding is going to do the trick,Β glass being the perfect example, then you need thisΒ little pot of magic.
How Does It Work?
Applying a smooth coat ofΒ Ultra Gripβ’Β will create little tiny, (invisible to the naked eye), peaks and valleys in you smooth surface, so it creates a βkeyβ for the paint to adhere to.
We like to think thatΒ Ultra Gripβ’Β makes the impossible, possible.
When should you useΒ Ultra Gripβ’?
Well, if you areΒ refinishing a laminate kitchen,Β Ultra Gripβ’Β is you very best friend. No need to go to town on the sanding β althoughΒ correct prepΒ is ALWAYS advisable β aΒ swift coat ofΒ Ultra GripΒ is what you need.
We like to applyΒ Ultra Gripβ’Β with our Microfiber rollers, (available at your local FusionΒ Merchant), for a super smooth finish with no brush strokes.
If you want to achieve a more rustic finish on your piece, apply theΒ UltraΒ Gripβ’ with aΒ brushΒ as a thick base layer β this is a great look and a fantastic method for moving away from slick to hand finished!
If you donβt want brush strokes, a light thin application is the way forward, or use aΒ roller. Itβs all down to the look you want in your final finish!
One word of warning βΒ Ultra Gripβ’Β is not for the impatient! You must allow 12 hours for this magical stuff to do its work and cure properly before applying your paint. But I promise you it is worth it!
Want proof? We asked our friends atΒ Old Red BarnΒ to do a scratch test β yes, they literally tried to scratch the paint off!
You can see exactly howΒ Ultra Gripβ’Β performs in the first week of curing. The results are incredible!
Ultra Gripβ’Β is not just for kitchens or glass, (on that note did you know you can useΒ anyΒ of our Fusionβ’ Colours to create aΒ Custom Chalkboard?), just look at this beautiful transformation from Β Southern Revivals. Simply beautiful and just one more example of the beauty of paint!
We strive to make the impossible possible and let your imagination be the only limiting factor in your creations.
Ultra Gripβ’Β β makes the impossible, possible!
Have fun, and paint on!
