INSTRUCTIONS:
1 | Base a coat of primer and let dry. Apply a heavy coat of untinted Soapstone using a trowel or a flat blade spatula. Immediately make grooves into the Soapstone with a V-notched scoring tool. Allow drying time of at least 8 hours.

2 | Roll or brush on a coat of Pre-Mixed Metallic Paint Just Brass. Upon drying, apply the size with a brush ensuring you get the product into the grooves. You’re looking for 100% coverage. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the proper tack time to setup.

3 | Start cutting up the Shaibin leaves in organic shapes and apply on to the size that has had a chance to set up. Distribute the tamisé flakes in between the three different kinds of Schaibin.

4 | After you are happy with the placement of the Schaibin, rub off the excess leaf with a soft cloth. The resulting skewings will cover any skips or “holidays” that you may have missed while laying down the leaf.

OPTIONAL: The resulting finish can be sealed immediately using a premium brand oil-based polyurethane sealer in a clear gloss finish. If you choose not to use the sealer, this finish acquires a lovely natural patina but should not be exposed to water.
Here is the final finish.
