Metallo Fuso: A Real Metal Workshop W&TH

Service Description

Metallo Fuso is not a paint and not a metallic effect. It is a two-component coating made with real metal alloy powders in silver, copper, brass, and bronze. The finished surface is literally metal: troweled, mechanically sanded, and polished until it captures and reflects light in a way no imitation product can replicate. This two-day workshop is for professional decorative painters and finishers who want to add genuine metal work to their portfolio. Working four hours each day, you will mix and apply Metallo Fuso using proper technique and complete five professional studio samples to take home and put directly in front of clients. What the class covers: Mixing and application technique Pot life management The multi-stage sanding and polishing process Proper sealing and protection Commercial applications, durability, and client conversations around spec and pricing What to bring: a plaster trowel and loader. You are welcome to bring other tools you would like to try for unique textures.
