Decrepit Dust is a super-fine antiquing powder that falls into crevices, carvings, and corners to create the soft, believable build-up time leaves behind. Work it over still-tacky clear wax and watch details pop. Choose from three tones—Dark for crisp shadow on light colors, White for chalky highlight on deeper hues, and Warm for a mellow, vintage patina.
How to use
- Paint your piece and let it dry completely.
- Brush on a thin coat of wax (clear, white, whatever!) where you want aging—keep it slightly tacky.
- Tap on a small amount of Decrepit Dust (Dark, White, or Warm) and work it into details with a soft brush.
- Feather away excess; if you overdo it, “erase” with a touch of clear wax.
- Allow the wax to set, then buff. Let cure fully before heavy use.
Tips
- Start sparingly and build—subtle layers look most authentic.
- Target spots where real dust settles
- Dark = contrast on light paint; White = soften deep colors; Warm = gentle, antique glow.
- Always apply over tacky wax—that’s the binder that grabs the powder.
