Directions for antiquing with MM17 Oil Antiquing
Medium (Patina):
1. Clean project of all dust, grease and
oil.
2. Moisten your product all over with a cotton
cloth soaked in MM17 Oil Antiquing Medium to
prevent the surface from absorbing too much
color.
3. Dab burnt umber or raw umber artists oil
paint on the moistened cloth and spread over
your project beginning at the outside edge
and moving into
the
centre.
4. Wipe back excess color to desired effect
with a clean cloth.
5. If you have made your item too dark, apply
MM17 Oil Antiquing Medium to a clean cloth
and wipe over to remove color.
6. Allow antiquing to dry at least 24 -
48 hours, depending on the weather and
how heavily the project was antiqued.
(Tip) I find it best to apply a coat of MM18
Pre-Antiquing Medium before antiquing to create
a layer between the acrylic and the oil so
as not to move any of the under-painting.
WARNING:
Rags soaked in MM17 Oil Antiquing Medium
may auto-combust (burst into
flames) if left piled up on top of each other.
Spread them out to dry, preferably on concrete
or grass, or another cool, non-combustible
surface.
