    Muslin cloth.
    We used to make clothing out if it. A reasonably light to medium stiffness, and not stretchy, a cotton.
    But is it cheesecloth you are using...the type that is being sold to do the ragging off of your paint in NZ?
    Anyone know where I can pick up the exact muslin cloth in NZ?
    And your French wash didn't look as runny as mine.
    Is this ad actually using French wash for ragging... I can't see it running everywhere down the wall?

    • @PortersPaintsYouTube
      @PortersPaintsYouTube  Рік тому

      The Porter's Paints store in Auckland sells the muslin that we recommend. It's light, not stretchy, and finer and more absorbent than cheesecloth, but of course we may be talking about exactly the same thing. I wouldn't think you could make clothes out of it, it's very fine and soft. French Wash, while it is a light-weight paint with a lighter consistency than paint, should not run down the wall. Apply it evenly, ensuring complete coverage, but no more than it takes to get coverage. Is it possible that you are over-loading your brush? After applying the French Wash in a random, multi-directional pattern, immediately remove with your muslin. Scrunch at least 5m of muslin. There's a good written explanation on our website. It's called a Specification Sheet and can be found here: www.porterspaints.com/paints/products/french-wash/ Thanks for getting in touch. The best way to reach us is via our Help & Advice team, as this site is not always monitored.

    • @PortersPaintsYouTube
      @PortersPaintsYouTube  Рік тому

      Hi. I'm not sure which retailer you went to, but perhaps it is because while it is a standard colour for our range of broadwall paints, it is not a standard colour for French Wash. It would have to be made especially for you, which is not a problem in one of our own stores, but may be difficult for a reseller. If you chose Rubble as your French Wash colour, then I suggest you put it over a base of Irish Linen, but if you chose Rubble as your base colour, then there is a lovely colour called Granite that would be perfect for the French Wash. I hope this makes sense. If not, give one of our Porter's stores a call and we can help you out over the phone.

      Thank you for getting back with this.
      Yes... I've made a mistake... huge $175 mistake.
      I have a wall that has a light off white.
      Looked at the Rubble because it's the colour of the plaster in the powder room.
      Thought of the French wash, watched the video, and decided I could do that. The thing is, didn't think for a moment that it's a "thin wash", and the Porter's video didn't look as if it's as thin going on as this wash that I've bought. I actually wanted the Rubble thickness, you know, the look on the colour on the swatch card, and I wanted to do that ragging.
      Yes, I bought it from an onseller who probably could have asked me more questions and probably could have come to the conclusion, that I want a wash effect (thickish) like plaster.
      I've bought a 4ltre and done a wash on a sample board and it's crazily not what I was imagining.
      It's ghastly and sickening.
      So today, I go all the way to Bunnings Albany to get a teapot of Rubble, which the other onseller didn't stock.
      I'll get there in the end.
      And no, a match had to be made up for Rubble into the wash.
      I wasn't informed that I could get the exact color if I went to Porters ...which I simply thought was an Australian shop.
      Thanks for you excellent customer service though.
      This is not going to beat me.

      Start over. Unfortunately that’s the correct answer. You could add some white and a little glaze to the paint and try to redo the French wash part, if you are extremely lucky it will look layered and pretty.

      I think how the two paints interact is key, I.e., if it's not the right combination the 2nd layer might wipe off too much and the effect is too subtle. I'd test a small area first.

      Hi - the French Wash is not like normal paint, it's specially formulated for this use. Normal paint is too thick and dries too fast. Sydney Harbor Paint Company in LA sells our French Wash. It goes a very long way - 25 square metres per litre, which is around 270 square foot, so you may only need a litre or two.
