[CapricornArtist73]

sparkle is also called tiling putty! You use it too apply tiles to the wall in say a bathroom :)

Hi, very interesting texture. You named the rust protector as one og the material which is needed for this piece, but I did not see you using it. Did you use rusr protector or you did not?

[CapricornArtist73]

Yes i used the Rust protector at 2:32...applied it with a paint brush it is the black runny stuff :)

[behzadtabar]

Isn't the black stuff bitumen? Did you mix them( rust protector and bitumen)together and then applied? Any how I tried the terpenoid, Terpentine, Mineral spirits and none of them works, since acrylic is water based and these solvent agents are oil based. Thank you for your response.
