Foam Roller Application

Step 1: Prep

Stir the container of Timeless for 2 - 3 minutes. For jugs, you can simply invert the container 20-30 times, until well mixed.

Place your print on a hard, flat surface. We recommend taping the corners down with masking tape, so that the print

remains taut during the coating and drying process.

Beware of airborne particles/dust settling on your print before and during the coating process. Try to work in as clean of a

room as possible to avoid this. You can also wipe the print with a cotton glove or soft bristle brush before applying varnish.

Step 2: Application

Measure out the Timeless and pour it directly onto your print in a "zigzag" pattern.

We nd that approximately 1/2 oz. of Timeless per sq. ft. is ideal, but your results may vary slightly.

Quickly pickup your foam roller and spread the Timeless over the print.

Using a rm amount of pressure, begin coating.

Roll in multiple different directions to work the coating into the canvas.

Gradually ease up the amount of pressure on the roller.

Using very light pressure, roll out any imperfections (roller marks) you see, until they disappear.

Additional Tips:

You can coat ne art paper! Use the same technique, only with lighter pressure.

Foam rollers can be reused. Simply rinse out your rollers under warm to hot water until clean, and squeeze out excess water.

When coating large prints, you can add 5-10% distilled water to aid in the application process.

In most cases, 1 coat is sufcient. You may apply additional coats as long as the previous coat is dry prior to application (approximately 25 minutes).
