• Allow to dry. Dry time is approximately 30-60 minutes (depending on
material, humidity and temperature) or until a chalky finish appears.
• After drying, lightly buff the surface with a fine grain sand paper (120-220
grit) or extra-fine steel wool (following the grain) to remove any excess or
clumps.
• Dust off thoroughly.
• Seal with FAMOWOOD GLAZE COAT or most any oil-based coating/sealer. For
better protection and a higher gloss, repeat coats of sealer as indicated on
the product’s instructions. High gloss sealers will help achieve a three
dimensional look.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A LIGHT GLAZE, WHITE WASH OR ANTIQUING AGENT:
1. SHAKE BEFORE USING.
2. Dilute Unicorn SPiT up to 30% with water to make a light glaze, white wash or
antiquing agent. Diluting Unicorn SPiT with water allows you to control the
opaqueness. Add 10 parts Unicorn SPiT in a re-sealable container to be
diluted with water. Test the dilution on a small, dry, clean sample piece of the
same substrate as your project, gradually adding up to 3 parts water until the
desired effect is achieved.
3. Apply the diluted Unicorn SPiT to the surface once it is completely void of all
oil, dirt, grime, paint, stain, or anything that may inhibit the product from
making contact with the surface to antique, age, paint, highlight or lowlight.
4. Continue to add multiple colors to the surface in separate areas creating
designs to achieve the desired look or blend colors as desired.
5. Once dry, use a soft (dry or damp) cloth to polish away Unicorn SPiT until your
desired effect has been achieved.
6. Apply to unsealed chalk or mineral style paint to create custom color
highlighting and lowlighting before sealing.
7. Allow to dry. Dry time is approximately 30-60 minutes (depending on
material, humidity and temperature) or until a chalky finish appears.
8. Seal with FAMOWOOD GLAZE COAT or most any oil-based coating/sealer. For
better protection and a higher gloss, repeat coats of sealer as indicated on
the product’s instructions. High gloss sealers will help achieve a three
dimensional look.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A STAIN OR DYE:
1. SHAKE BEFORE USING.
2. Dilute Unicorn SPiT up to 50% with water to make stain. Diluting Unicorn SPiT
with water allows you to control the opaqueness and absorption into
the porous surface. Add 10 parts Unicorn SPiT in a re-sealable container to be
diluted with water. Test the dilution on a small, dry, clean sample piece of the
same substrate as your project, gradually adding up to 5 parts water until the
desired effect is achieved.
3. Apply the diluted Unicorn SPiT to the bare surface once it is completely void
of all oil, sealer, dirt, grime, paint, stain, or anything that may inhibit the
product from making contact with the bare porous surface.
4. Continue to add or blend multiple colors to the surface in separate areas
creating designs to achieve the desired look.
5. Allow to dry. Dry time is approximately 30-60 minutes (depending on
material, humidity and temperature) or until a chalky finish appears.
6. After drying, lightly buff the surface with a fine grain sand paper (120-220
grit) or extra-fine steel wool (following the grain) to remove any excess or
clumps.
7. Dust off thoroughly.
