First wet the raw wood slightly by rubbing a damp cloth over it, then use a damp mutton cloth to evenly apply the paint and glaze mixture. The slightly damp wood allows the paint to soak in more evenly and prevents it from making streaks. Allow the paint and glaze mixture to dry for at least 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">2 Add the detail We created a simple geometric design on the drawers by applying masking tape diagonally from corner to corner to form two triangles on each drawer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">3 Paint one of the triangles on each drawer front with one coat of Magical Marina (use your 38mm Tjhoko Hamilton\u2019s Ensign Brush). Allow to dry completely (20\u201340 minutes, depending on the temperature). Then apply a second coat of Magical Marina and remove the masking tape immediately, before the paint is completely dry \u2013 this ensures that the paint won\u2019t come off with the masking tape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">To finish\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">We gave our chest of drawers a modern and stylish look with trendy new legs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Did you know?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">* Magical Marina is one of Tjhoko Paint\u2019s fabulous new colours!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"CssComponent__CssInlineComponent-sc-1oskqb9-1 UserSelectableText___StyledCssInlineComponent-lsmoq4-0\"><span class=\"q-box qu-userSelect--text\">Tjhoko Paint\u2019s book, Tjhoko \u2013 Our Stories, Our Colours, Our People, is now available (also in Afrikaans).
