FAQs
What is the primary use of Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains?
They are used to quickly and easily apply dye ink coverage to porous surfaces, allowing for layering, blending, and special effects like stenciling.
How do I achieve a blended effect with the Picket Fence Spray Stain?
Spray the Picket Fence color onto your surface, then spritz lightly with water. The water will react with the dye ink, causing it to blend and mix.
Can I use this spray stain on non-porous surfaces?
While primarily for porous surfaces, you can use it on non-porous surfaces if they are first treated with a suitable primer or gesso.
How do I clean the fine mist sprayer?
If clogged, remove the nozzle, soak it in warm water, and gently clear any blockages. Rinse well before reattaching.
What is the volume of the Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain bottle?
Each bottle contains 1.9 fl. oz. of spray stain.
Are there other colors available in the Distress Spray Stain line?
Yes, the Distress Spray Stains are available in a wide range of colors, including standard dye inks and metallics.
Can I layer Picket Fence over other Distress Spray Stains?
Absolutely. Layering Picket Fence over other Distress Spray Stains allows for creating unique color blends and distressed effects.
Troubleshooting
Sprayer nozzle is clogged
Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water. Use a fine needle to gently clear any dried ink. Rinse and reattach.
Uneven spray pattern
Shake the bottle vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is clean and free of blockages. Experiment with spraying distance.
Ink not adhering well to the surface
Ensure the surface is porous and free of oils or sealants. Lightly sanding non-porous surfaces before application may improve adhesion.
Color appears too sheer
Apply additional layers of the spray stain. Allow each layer to dry slightly before applying the next for increased opacity.
