Production Faux Tools provide a wide array of variations and possibilities in the world of Faux Finishing.

RECIPE


Step One: Apply two coats of Pratt and Lambert Accolade Satin Finish tinted to #1902 Red River. Let paint dry for several hours.

Step Two: There are two types of glazes that can be used to do this technique; oil glaze and latex glaze.

Oil glaze: Use Pratt and Lambert Oil Glaze tinted to #2015 Loam.

Latex Glaze: Mix your glaze in the ratio of 5 parts Polyvine Scumble: 1 part Accolade Velvet mixed to #2015 Loam.

Step Three: Start in a corner and roll the glaze onto the wall square. Roll as close to the ceiling and trim as you can. With a stippling brush, or hogs hair softener, stipple up to the ceiling and trim.

Step Four: Working quickly, roll the production faux roller through the glaze at different angles until you have removed as much of the glaze as necessary to create a pattern you are happy with. DO NOT WORK THE OPEN EDGE OF GLAZE. Instead, roll your next section into the unworked edges of the previous section. One person will roll the glaze out, and the other will do the patterning. Each of the tools leave a unique impression in the glaze. The three shown are the Mondrian, Floppy, and Butterfly rollers.

Step Five: Repeat steps three and four until the entire wall has been worked. Once the first color has dried, repeat the process with the second color.

Step Six: Stand Back and Admire!
