Dirty Down - Ageing Spray - Soot Black - 400ml Aerosol

Soot Black ageing spray has a stronger, more powerful spray nozzle than our other ageing sprays. The spray deposits a semi-opaque layer of black dye that creates a dirty, black old or aged look. The spray is water soluble and can be smeared and reworked by wetting with water, but much less water soluble than our other ageing sprays. Fast drying. Ozone friendly.

Soot Black – a rich matt black.  Very high density, very dark, almost opaque.  A very resistant and permanent colour, no matter what the fabric.  Even visible on darker coloured items.  Least washable of all our sprays, will almost always leave a black stain.  More powerful than the other ageing sprays and takes longer to dry.

Usage Instructions:

• The spray comes out at a faster speed than other ageing sprays – it’s best to test before use.
• Ensure surfaces are dry and grease free.
• Mask areas not to be sprayed.
• Shake can before use.
• Use sparingly, apply several fine coats rather than one heavy coat. The shade will darken with each coat applied.
• Hold can upright 30cm (12 inches) away from the surface, and spray across the surface in one smooth sweep, keeping the nozzle fully depressed. Spots of concentrated dye may appear if the button is only partially depressed.
• For small patches, spray through holes cut in a piece of paper.
• For dark patches, spray closer to the surface.
• Heavy spraying may drip or puddle.
• Smear the spray by re-wetting with water, and then dabbing or rubbing with a damp or wet cloth. With some fabrics it’s easier to smear by wetting the sprayed fabric and then rubbing the wet area together between your hands. Smearing is easier when the spray is still wet, but is also possible after the spray has fully dried. It may not be possible to smear spray applied to absorbent surfaces.
• May not adhere to some polished surfaces.
• Our ageing sprays are water soluble and the effects of spraying will be lost by washing in water, but there may still be staining.
• Do not use outside in wet weather.
