Introducing the latest Dixie Belle product...GATOR HIDE!
Gator Hide is a NON YELLOWING very low sheen poly-acrylic that protects your creation like natures armor....tough as a Gator's Hide!
La Don says "I love how versatile Dixie Belle Paint Company products are! I decoupaged these 4"x4" coasters with a colorful napkin and Clear Coat, and then gave it a water repellant finish with Gator Hide. "
The final coat is GATOR HIDE! Donna also used Drop cloth, Best Dang Wax in Clear, and Brown wax. Love this piece! The steps for Gator Hide are easy peasy....
Step 1:
• Allow your finished piece to completely dry.
Step 2:
• Simply brush on a thin layer of Gator Hide. Let dry. After 2 hours, re-apply, let dry 2 hours and repeat this up to 3 thin layers to get the water repellent finish.
Step 3:
• We like to use the cling on brush with Gator Hide. It works really great!
• A 48-hour dry time is recommended.
• Great for tables, cabinets and counter tops!
