What is Liquid Metal?
Liquid metal is a real metal coating made by blending fine metal powders like brass, bronze, copper, or aluminium with a binder. Once applied, it gives the look, feel, and finish of solid metal, but without the weight or limitations. Think of it as a way to turn almost any surface into a metal masterpiece.
Is liquid metal paint or polish?
Liquid metal is not paint or polish. It's a real metal coating made with actual metal particles. Applied like a surface coating, it takes on the properties of solid metal once cured. This means it can be polished, patinated, distressed, or aged, offering the same character and versatility as sheet metal, but with far more design flexibility.
How do I use Deco Patina to create oxidation effects?
The level of oxidation can be controlled by adjusting the amount of Deco Patina solution applied and how it's layered. Using less material or targeting specific areas allows for more subtle effects, while heavier or repeated application will create deeper, more pronounced oxidation. This gives you full creative control over the final look.
Will the surface change over a period of time?
No, if sealed properly, any surface that is treated using Deco Patina will not change over a period of time.
Is Deco Rust real corten steel?
Yes, it is real corten steel in a paintable format.
Will my surfaces bleed after applying Deco Rust?
No. Deco Rust is a non-bleeding material and can thus safely be used for both interior and exterior applications.
