A top coat with a soft sheen finish.

Finishing Coat is a water based, eco-friendly sealant, which provides a more durable finish than wax. It has a soft sheen and is great for protecting items of furniture that get a lot of use, as well as those prone to water splashes.

Painted an item of furniture with paint from our Original Artisan Range? You’ll now need to seal it to protect it from any potential damage. Here’s how:

Make sure your painted item is fully dry.

Shake the bottle and pour some into a small receptacle.

Dip a clean, dry sponge into the Finishing Coat and wipe off any excess. Apply a layer directly onto the painted surface using a even, smooth, brushing motion.

Wait 30 minutes for the first coat to dry and then apply a second coat.

You can use Finishing Coat and Waxes independently or together, but if using together, you must apply the Finishing Coat first! For example, if you are using a brown wax to create an aged look, seal the item with the Finishing Coat before adding colour with the wax.

If you love a bit of glitz and glamour, you can mix Finishing Coat with one of the Frensheen mineral powders to create a metallic paint. Here’s how:

Decant some of the powder into a small receptacle. Choose from a choice of five different colours – Beautiful Bronze, Cool Copper, Gorgeous Gold, Green Goddess and Sexy Silver.

Add a small amount of Finishing Coat and stir well until there’s no powder left. You want to create a liquid, paint-like consistency.

Using a brush, simply paint the mixture onto your chosen item for a shimmery finish. The best part – there’s no need for further sealant.

For something a little different, why not get creative and try your hand at decoupage? You can easily add a paper image of your choice, like wrapping paper or a napkin, onto almost any surface using the versatile Finishing Coat. Here’s how:

Position the paper image onto your chosen surface to make sure it fits. If you’re using a decorated napkin, you’ll want to remove the excess layers of paper underneath – you just need the layer on which the image is printed.

Pour some Finishing Coat into a small receptacle and use a stiff sponge to apply it. You want to use a good amount of product and press it into the paper quite firmly, so that it absorbs fully and sticks to the painted surface beneath. If you apply too much, simply dab off any excess with the dry side of the sponge. If your image is on a thicker paper, you may find it helpful to apply a layer of Finishing Coat to the surface of the furniture first.

Once you’ve applied the first coat, leave to dry and the apply a second coat later to protect it. Don’t worry if at first the surface of the item looks a milky white colour, it dries fully transparent.
