Viva Decor Inka Gold - Platinum

It is ideal for absorbent surfaces such as untreated wood, cardboard, paper, canvas, and unglazed pottery. For non-absorbent surfaces, it's recommended to use a primer or seal the finish with varnish.

Apply thinly with a sponge, cloth, finger, or damp brush in a circular motion, polishing simultaneously. For more intense color, build up with multiple thin layers. Polish again once dry for maximum shine.

While it can be applied to outdoor items, it's highly recommended to seal the finish with a suitable outdoor-grade varnish for protection against the elements and to ensure durability.

Clean your tools (brushes, sponges, cloths) with soap and water immediately after use while the paste is still wet.

No, Inka Gold is water-based and is designed to be non-toxic and virtually odorless, making it pleasant to work with.

It is generally not recommended to mix Inka Gold directly with water-based acrylics or other mediums, as this can alter its unique wax paste consistency and metallic properties. It is best used on its own or sealed over other finishes.

When stored with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, Inka Gold can last for a considerable time. Avoid contamination to prolong its shelf life.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply the paste thinly and evenly, polishing as you go. If the paste is too dry, try adding a tiny drop of water and mixing thoroughly. For very smooth surfaces, a light sanding might improve adhesion.

Apply additional thin layers of Inka Gold, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Ensure thorough polishing after each application and once the final layer is dry.

This typically happens on non-absorbent surfaces. Ensure the surface is suitable or has been primed. After the Inka Gold has fully dried, apply a clear varnish or sealant over the top to protect the finish.

Try adding a very small amount of water (a few drops) and thoroughly mixing it into the paste. This may restore some of its workability, but avoid over-watering.
