| Surface
Small surfaces on doors and furniture, footledges and panels,
not advisable on large areas because this technique requires
even pressure and very even straight lines. The surface has
to be oil-free, dry and even.
What you need
Paint:
Emulsion paint or latex paint for the walls, acrylic glaze
for wooden surfaces, in each case use a basis-colour tone
and then another tone for the special-effects.
For the basis-colour tone:
Use the mako wall roller or mako glaze roller or the mako
glaze brush.
For the wood graining design:
Use the mako wood graining tool - maserboy
How to do it the right way
This technique requires a very even hand and careful work,
so we recommend that you practise first on a piece of paper
or cardboard before you beginn.
| 1. |
Paint the wall evenly with the basis-colour
tone using the mako roller or the mako brush and let it
dry well. |
| |
|
| 2. |
Apply the wood graining paint in small
rows. Apply the paint only to relatively small portions
of the whole surface! Treat the painted rows with the
mako wood graining tool – maserboy, before the paint
dries as follows:
Press the maserboy firmly onto the surface, then drag
it along without lifting it from top to bottom, making
even rows across the whole surface. The mako maserboy
has to be wiped off after each completed row. We advise
you to use either acrylic glaze or varnish to protect
your wooden surfaces. But do not forget to let the painted
surface dry for at least 24 h before starting. |

You
can achieve many different effects with the mako maserboy:
| • |
You can achieve a wide
graining if you drag the maserboy straight
down the surface. |
| |
|
| •
|
By moving your wrist back
and forth you can achieve a knot
effect |
| |
|
| •
|
If you turn up your hand
slightly while dragging the maserboy you can achieve
the so-called heart pattern. |
| |
|
The lines within the pattern can be accentuated by using
the back of the comb. |
