Rust Look Made Easy
Your three components at a glance.
Iron Filings: Texture and Rust Look
- Sprinkle iron filings onto a still-wet bonding base (acrylic glue or acrylic binder) or into texture materials such as white filler paste, and work them in.
- Tap off the excess once it has begun to dry.
- If you only want texture plus rust, the filings and the oxidizing agent are all you need.
- More examples in the blog article on iron filings.
Liquid Iron: Pure Iron Color
- Brush or spread it on neat – or dilute up to 1:1 with water for more translucent effects.
- Ideal if you want to color smooth surfaces with real rust, without any filings.
- Layering and sanding deepen the vintage look.
- More examples in the blog article on liquid iron.
Oxidizing Agent: Activate the Rust Process
- Activates the rust process on every iron layer — no spray mist, no rust.
- Fill the agent into a fine-mist spray bottle and dampen the surface thoroughly, without forming puddles.
- First rust tones appear after 1 to 2 hours; spray again if needed for more intense rust.
- You can stop at any time (let it dry) or start again (dampen it once more).
