FAQs

How much Frensheen should I mix with the top coat/wax?

Start with a small amount and gradually add more Frensheen until you achieve your desired metallic effect. There is no strict ratio; it depends on the look you want to achieve.

Can I use this product on plastic?

Yes, but you should prepare the plastic surface properly with a suitable primer before applying your Frensheen mixture. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Is this product waterproof?

The waterproofness depends on the medium you use. When mixed with Tuff Top Coat it will offer superior protection and is suitable for exterior use.

What kind of projects is this product best suited for?

It is suitable for furniture, crafts, and decorative projects that require a metallic finish. It can be used for detailing, creating patterns, and adding accents.

How do I clean my Frensheen-finished project?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

How long does it take for the Frensheen mixture to dry?

Drying time depends on the medium used and environmental conditions. Generally, allow several hours for the mixture to dry completely before handling or applying additional coats. Refer to the specific instructions for the medium you are using.

Can I mix different colours of Frensheen?

Yes, you can combine different Frensheen colours to create custom shades and effects. Experiment to find your perfect colour!

Troubleshooting

Uneven application or streaks.

Ensure the mixture is well-blended and apply thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush or applicator and avoid over-brushing.

Insufficient metallic sheen.

Add more Frensheen to the mixture or apply additional coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
