PAINTING BURLAP

1. After installing Burlap Panels, select quality water base latex paint to be used.
2. Thin paint to 2 parts paint, 1 part water or thinner. *(Paint should be the consistency of milk.)
3. Apply paint to Burlap one panel at a time using a 9" roller with standard nap for smooth surfaces. †Paint panel edges between adjoining panels using a standard paint brush.
4. After the painting of each panel, follow over painted panel with a dry roller to remove any excess paint to prevent filling in the burlap texture.
5. Continue process until all panels are completed.
6. Allow panels a minimum of 12 hours to dry before application of second coat if so desired.

*NOTE: It is recommended that a small quantity of paint be mixed and a small sample painted and allowed to dry to assure satisfaction of color and texture prior to painting larger panels.

†NOTE: For smaller jobs a 4" wide paint brush may be used. When using a brush work paint into panel so as to so as not to leave excess paint on panel, thus filling in burlap texture.
