Annie Sloan Polished Plaster is a water-based decorative paste for creating a softly textured, marble-like plaster effect on walls and furniture—without the traditional multi-step plaster process. Use it on its own for a natural finish, or tint it with Chalk Paint® to bring color into the texture. Stronger Chalk Paint® colors work especially well because you can use less paint and preserve the plaster’s working consistency. How to use it Stir well and test the product—and any color mixture—before beginning. Make sure the surface is clean and dry. Apply with a scraper, palette knife, or trowel, spreading the paste in different directions. Let the first layer dry slightly, then level and smooth it with the clean edge of your tool. Once dry, apply a second coat in the same way. For more sheen, buff the fully dried surface with a clean scraper. Seal the finished surface with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® Wax or Chalk Paint® Lacquer. Clean tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Maintain the finish with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Keep out of reach of children.
