✨ Features of Shabby Chalk Pastes
Fabrika Decoru's Shabby Chalk Pastes are unique colored pastes with a silky texture designed to create matte shabby reliefs in popular pastel shades. These pastes are perfect for adding final volumetric accents to canvases, boxes, organizers, furniture, and other decorative items. The pastes line includes 24 colors that match the shades of Fabrika Decoru's famous Shabby Velour Paints. The pastes are very plastic, moderately thick, and elastic, ensuring they hold their shape well and do not flow under stencils. After drying, the pastes become two tones lighter but regain their richness with a topcoat of varnish or a transparent medium. A topcoat is essential for surfaces that will be in contact with moisture or used frequently.
✂️ How to Use Shabby Chalk Pastes
Using Shabby Chalk Pastes is straightforward:
- Choose your desired color from the 24 available shades.
- Apply the paste with a silicone brush, palette knife, or plastic card to your chosen surface.
- Use stencils, rollers, or manual techniques to create various patterns and textures.
- Allow the paste to dry completely before further handling or painting.
- If needed, sand the dried paste to achieve a smooth finish.
The pastes are packed in 150 ml plastic jars with a wide neck for easy access. They dry quickly, so keep the jar closed when not in use. After finishing your work, clean the jar's neck with a damp cloth and seal it tightly with the safety membrane to keep the paste in optimal condition.
