These include paper, canvas and other fabrics, wood, plaster, shells and hardboard. Non-absorbent surfaces such as metal, plastic or glass should be lightly abraded with sandpaper or steel wool before brushing on the Watercolour Ground.

It has a thick, brushable consistency. Use a soft-haired synthetic brush, foam brush or foam roller for a smoother finish, or a hog bristle brush for a more textured finish. The ground is highly pigmented so one coat will cover most surfaces; very absorbent surfaces such as unfinished soft wood may require two coats, allowing the first coat to cure before adding the second. Wash brushes immediately after use.\u003cbr\u003e TIP – when using the Watercolour Ground to Rescue a Painting, thin in a small dish with up to 10% of water and use a soft brush like a hake brush to blend the edges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:normal;font-size:15px;font-family:\"Calibri\",sans-serif;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;'\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51);\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:normal;font-size:15px;font-family:\"Calibri\",sans-serif;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;\"\u003eCuring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet Watercolour Ground dry and cure for at least 24 hours.
