Instructions
Applying colour wash plant glaze - Living walls
Preparation
The substrate should be white or light-coloured.
Adjust the Colour wash plant glaze No. 360 to the desired colour intensity with water. The colour intensity of the glaze paint can be diluted with water up to approx. 1:3.
For greater dilution, we recommend adding AURO Colour wash binder No. 379. Supplied as a concentrate, it can be diluted approx. 1:7 with water beforehand.
Coating technique
The glaze application can be carried out using various techniques, – When glazed on top of each other, the colour wash plant glazes have a particularly intense colour effect. By layering different colour tones, secondary colour tones are achieved (e.g. yellow glazed on blue appears green).
Moisten a paintbrush, squeeze it well and dip only the tips of the bristles into the mixed, water-thin paint.
Then beat well so that the paint does not run out. Spread the glaze over the wall in a quick circular motion “figure of eight”.
By glazing several layers on top of each other, an almost three-dimensional depth is created. Each layer must be thoroughly dry.

Any combination
All shades can be combined and glazed on top of each other in several layers. The special transparency of the pigments and the diverse processing techniques result in unique, individual one-offs. With several layers, you can create “living” walls that differ significantly in their effect from one-dimensional, single-coloured painted walls.
