Unleash Your Creativity with Fusion Extender
What is Extender? Fusion Extender is a uniquely formulated non-toxic product used to “extend” the open time of Fusion™ Mineral Paint. This means it takes longer to dry. It is great for those who want a longer open time to help minimize the look of brush strokes and make blending easier! This is particularly useful when painting in a dry climate or a space with low humidity. You may find your paint dries too fast but you can buy yourself time with our Extender.
How to Use Fusion Paint Extender
- Add 15mL of Extender into a pint (500mL) of Fusion Mineral Paint (or 10% extender into paint)
- Apply the paint as usual, you will notice a longer open drying time. This gives you more time to work with the paint and smooth out brush strokes
- Wait 4 hours between coats when using Extender as it increases drying time
If you notice that your second coat is lifting, you may have used too much extender. Or it needs more time to dry and cure before applying another coat.
