Saltwash™ is a product, invented to create a unique weather worn, layered sun and salt air soaked look in just two quick steps. Saltwash™ is made with real sea salt, so you will notice it dries quicker and adheres to almost any surface that takes paint. It was designed to be mixed into any brand or type of paint and used as the base coat. When mixed to the desired consistency, it can be applied to almost any surface that takes paint. Originally intended for furniture, Saltwash™ also has found to give a unique look to walls, flooring, metal and even plastic.

Saltwash™ is offered in two sizes, a large tin at 42oz and a mini tin at 10oz. The large 42oz tin will extend to do about two large dressers, depending on the preferred consistency or mix into about a half a gallon of paint. The 10oz. mini tin is preferred for small projects and is good for first introductions to Saltwash™.

Saltwash™ is a low voc product and all of the ingredients in it are ​considered ​safe in a working environment. We at Saltwash™ LLC., are very concerned with safety, so we ​recommend ​to ​always take precautions​,​ and because Saltwash™ is a powder, we suggest wearing proper respiratory​ and eye ​protection when mixing and sanding​.​

Directions

Directions: Mix the Saltwash powder using the included scoop, to any paint of your choice. The Saltwash to paint ratio can be based on 20oz - 25oz of Saltwash to one quart of paint, for desired effect. This amount can be increased or decreased depending on the amount of paint you choose to use. Best to add one scoop at a time, mix, then add more as needed.


Important: Desired paint mixture should be like a thick cake icing.

Step Three

Once your paint is totally dry, a light sanding to your final piece of furniture will bring out the underlayer details of the Saltwash and give it the multi layered and the "years aged on the salty coast" look and feel you want!

Tips

  • Use differing paint colors for the Saltwash coat and final coat to give contrast and really show the layers of paint.
  • Using a higher gloss or Satin finish for the final coat adds to an authentic look as if it was salvaged from an old beach cottage... back when oil and lead paints were used ;)
  • Try multiple layers of Saltwash to add more interest.
  • A light coat of wax in a brown tone will add to an authentic vintage look.
