Product Information
Full details
DecoArt Metallic Lustre is designed for crafters and artists looking for a high-shine, professional metallic finish on decorative projects. This water-based, concentrated metallic wax offers opaque coverage in a single coat, making it ideal for everything from accenting furniture to finishing canvas art. While its creamy consistency provides excellent control, users should note that the drying time is fast, requiring deliberate application for smooth, streak-free results on larger surfaces.

FAQs
Does Metallic Lustre require a sealer?
It is designed as a standalone finish, but you can apply a water-based sealer if you need extra protection for high-touch items.
Can I use this on fabric?
While it adheres to many surfaces, it is intended primarily for decorative, non-washable items; it is not recommended for clothing.
How long does it take to dry?
It typically dries to the touch within minutes, though the duration can vary based on humidity and application thickness.
Is this safe for indoor use?
Yes, it is a water-based formula and is safe for indoor decorative projects.
Can I mix colors?
Yes, you can blend different colors of Metallic Lustre while they are wet to create custom shades or ombre effects.
Troubleshooting
Streaking during application
Use a softer applicator like a high-density sponge and ensure you are not using too much pressure; buffing afterward will usually smooth out minor streaks.
Product drying too fast
Apply to smaller sections at a time and work quickly to blend edges before the wax sets.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure the surface is not coated with wax or oil-based sealants; lightly sand non-porous surfaces to create "tooth" for better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your target surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Use a soft cloth, sponge, or your finger to apply a small amount of the wax paste. Since the product dries quickly, work in manageable sections to maintain consistency. If you need a more fluid consistency for fine detailing, it can be slightly thinned, though it is intended for use directly from the jar. Cleanup is straightforward: wash brushes or applicators immediately with mild soap and warm water while the product is still fresh. Store the jar tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax from drying out over time.
