Surface preparation
New surfaces should be dry and fully matured. For powdering surfaces or surfaces with old paint that is no longer well attached, proceed to clean the surface removing any loose or crumbling material. Following this, proceed to apply a coat of Crilux or Neofix by Oikos. To obtain a uniform surface apply two coats of Ultrasaten Opaco by Oikos, White or Coloured according to the indications in the Encanto colour chart. To obtain a more opaque finish with the following bases Silver, Grey and Gold, this can be accomplished by using Fondo Murales by Oikos as a base coat in one or two coats as required.

How to apply
Encanto: Apply a coat of ENCANTO using the indicated Spanish brush by Oikos, crossing over the brush strokes in order to obtain an even distribution over the whole surface. Immediately pass again over the surface with the brush without any product to make the finish uniform. Should a more even, blended finish be desired, it is possible to apply the Encanto in 2 coats, diluting the product 20% with drinkable water and waiting approximately 4 hours between coats. With the same technique use Ultrasaten Opaco as base coat in a contrasting colour in respect to the chosen colour of ENCANTO, therefore obtaining a particular metallic finish with reflections of colour. The resulting effect is made by feathering or smoothing out the application of ENCANTO.

Encanto Stellato: add Decorglitter by Oikos to ENCANTO before applying the product using the technique indicated above. Other than the classic decoration it is possible to obtain other decorative effects by modifying the combination of Colours and Tools as follows:

Vertical: Apply a coat of ENCANTO diluted 5% with water, using the Spanish Brush by Oikos. The effect should be realised using plenty of product and applied using the edge of the brush to apply the material in vertical sense. Following thins, use the flat part of the brush without any product to blend the edges of the various bands that have been created. Carry out the application over vertical wall sections that are approximately 30-40 cm wide.

Pegaso: On a smooth surface, apply Ultrasaten Opaco as a base coat. Apply ENCANTO ready to use, either vertically or horizontal with a brush, work this afterwards in the same direction with the corduroy tool Tampone Millerighe (art 133). When dry it is possible to apply imperium by Oikos diluted 25%, with a gloss roller Rullo per Smalti taking care to apply the last coat in the same direction therefore eliminating imperfections and acquiring a high grade metallic effect. To acquire the Glitter effect, add Decorglitter to Imperium.
