PREP ESSENTIALS
TSP For Prepping Your Surface
A little prep goes a long way! For optimum results, it’s always best to spend a little time assessing and prepping your piece. Ensure your piece is free of dirt, oil, and grease. If there is a wax be sure to remove it with an odourless solvent or mineral spirits.
TSP is a water-based degreaser that cleans a painted surface prior to applying paint. It removes oil, grease, fingerprints, stains and other contaminants, which will improve the adhesion and the look of subsequent coatings.
Sanding Sponge
This is a fantastic finishing sponge for wet sanding after to create a super smooth finish. It can also be used to scuff the surface and dull down the sheen and finish of your surface so the paint can glide on beautifully and have a little more “tooth” to grip onto!
ACCESSORIES
Staalmester Brush
The Staalmeester is the Rolls Royce of Brushes. A unique synthetic / natural bristle blend that has a short natural china bristle, blended with a longer silky synthetic bristle. The natural bristle ensures better paint absorption and the synthetic bristle component allows for a smooth, even application having minimal to no brush strokes.
Brush Soap
Do you have a favourite brush? Well, Fusion Mineral Brush Soap will keep your bristles in optimal shape to give them that TLC that you need. It’s soft on your hands and your bristles every time. As a bonus, this can also help clean your hands and your sink as well! It’s super gentle and natural, and very effective!
Microfiber Roller
For the smoothest and most flawless finish, a microfiber roller is your best friend!

Fusion™ Mineral Paint Tester Pots for Crafting
We love Fusion™ tester pots! They are perfect for smaller craft projects and a great way to test out colours to make sure it’s the right shade before painting large projects like your kitchen cabinets. We have tons of tutorials in our blogs and our Youtube Channel that are so easy to do.
Metallic Paints For Accents
It offers an instant rich, shimmering look to most surfaces. Metallic Paint interacts with light for enhanced colour. Perfect for a metallic wall or accent piece, or rejuvenated hardware!
Fusion Chocolate Paint
Yes, we have a paint called Chocolate! Every designer is infatuated with the depth and richness of this colour. It’s so versatile for your home decor for accent walls and painting furniture including using it as a stain! A little favourite secret is using it as a base coat, then painting over it and sanding back to make it look like you’re sanding back to a vintage antique wood, even if your surface was brand new!
