Instructions for using your Chic Mouldings, and fitting your Light Switch Surrounds
Chic Mouldings
Sticking.
*If your using on an unpainted piece, Just stick it directly onto a clean smooth area.
*If your piece is already painted, just give the area a light key before applying.
*DO NOT stick directly onto chalk paint. The glue will react with the chalk paint & they will fall off! Always make sure you seal if first, then give a light key & then stick.
*We recommend you use a 2 part Cyanacrylate glue to attach your mouldings You can purchase it here
You can also use a hot glue gun, No Nails or superglue for an instant fix.
*If you want to use PVA wood glue, tape into position whilst drying, leave for a few hours.
Bending.
*DO NOT TRY TO BEND YOUR MOULDING STRAIGHT OUT OF THE PACKET! It needs to be warmed up to allow it to become flexible. You can heat in a microwave for a few seconds to soften. *Do not overheat! *
*You can also use a hairdryer to warm it up, and gently mould into desired shape.
*Secure with masking tape whilst drying, Remove tape when dry, the shape of your applique should now be set.
Painting.
*Apply 1-2 coats of paint with a soft paint brush after you attach your item to your project. You can also use spray can paints too!
*Some may have air bubbles due to heavy details. These can be filled with filler, if needed, before painting. But paint does cover lots of these tiny ones.
