2. Apply one to two base coats of #626 allowing it to dry between layers.
3. Mix 40 percent Earth Brown, 25 percent Dark Brown, 25 percent Black and 10 percent Earth Green with Aquacreme to create a dark brown glaze. Lightly brush mixture over the molding. While wet, use steel wool to wipe most of it off so it goes into the recessed areas. Let dry.
4. Add more age/distress by sanding certain areas to expose some raw wood beneath .
