I should have worn gloves. I was afraid it would make the bag/sponge too cumbersome and difficult to manage. The metallic and pearl is really difficult to clean off skin - note to self.
This is the Pearl Mica, my first application.
At this point, I'm getting more comfortable with the technique and feeling almost like a pro. I think it took a little over two hours. But remember, I'm slow and meticulous at anything. Perhaps it would be quicker for you.
I had seen tutorials on veining, however, I didn't care for it and couldn't get the "look" down, so I didn't bother. Maybe it would be more effective on a lighter shade kit.
Personally, I don't think it looks like granite, but I certainly looks better than what was on there. Perhaps more like a glorified Formica finish!
You must allow 4 hours drying time before applying the top coat sealant. I will post more once that step is completed. Overall, I am very pleased with this kit and the product. Although, now I'm even more anxious to get the floor project started. Just a little more orange left in here to conceal. Also, the tin tile backsplash should definitely add more texture and character than the white bead board is providing now.
