I have not done this yet - because I can't find the darn floor wax - but from what I understand you can put some in your aqua painter and then you can paint with your Pearl-Ex. No sealer required!

Put your floor wax into your aquapainter. Pick up the PE onto the tip and brush it on! Pretty!
(If you don't have an aquapainter, use a watercolor brush and dip in Floor wax and then in PE)
Fun!

I want to know this too. Also, do you dip your floor wax directly into the PE container or do you put some in a seperate dish to you don't make the PE in the container all clumpy?
I'm itching to try this technique -- when I get the time! __________________

I've never tried this - but from what I've read....
1. Once you use your aquapainter for the floor wax, you shouldn;t use it for watercoloring.
2. Be sure to wash it well when done.
3. Don't dip directly into the PE, you will get way too much. Put a little PE on an old CD and use that for your palette.
Now my question.......would this work on the tumbles tiles to color things slightly?

Good question! I have a tumbled tile that a friend made for me, using Twinkling H2Os. She painted it on, baked it for a few mintues and then rinsed off in running water - the effect was a softenng of the colors; very pretty! I'll have to play around and see if the Future/PearlEx technique will work that way or not. Will post my results!

I have used this technique and love it. It is so easy. Just dip the tip of your Aqua Painter into the Pearl Ex and paint as usual. And YES, I have one AP designated specifically for Future Floor Finish. I keep it with my Pearl Ex. One bottle of Future FFF will last a LONG time.

You can also jus take a small bristle paint brush and dip it in the floor wax and then in the PE and it works fine too.
I dont' have any of the aqua painters so that is how I use my Pearl EX.
I love the way it looks on black cardstock.

I just use a regular paintbrush also. I had trouble with the aquapainter and too much floor wax coming out (even though I wasn't squeezing it). Just dip the brush into the floor wax, then into the pearl ex and then paint! And I don't have to worry about ruining my nice aquapainters! And I will second Cassi: it looks fabulous on black cardstock, especially if you emboss with silver! Many compliments when I send out that card!

I read on another thread that it DOES have to be Future, Mop & Glo turns yellow. And to answer another question, I have a little plastic paint palette that I bought at a craft store for about $1, I put a little PE in each well by color and dribble some FFW from the Aquapainter and mix it. You can keep wiping off the Aquapainter just like when you're watercoloring. If you forget and the PE & FFW dries on it, just run it under hot water and it will wash off.
Search under "Future Floor Wax" and lots of beautiful samples will come up! HTH. |
