HOW TO

Herringbone

Materials for Herringbone:

Sage Green SetCoat®
Tiger Eye Venetian Gem®
Rhino LusterStone®

Tools & Supplies:

HerringBone Stencil from StencilFX™
Stainless Steel or Styrene Beveled Edge Trowel
Painter’s Tape

Step 1: Prep the surface and apply 2 coats of Sage Green SetCoat®. Let dry at least overnight.

Step 2: Plan the layout of your stencil pattern. Affix the stencil to the surface using painter’s tape.

Step 3: Gently trowel Tiger Eye Venetian Gem® through the stencil. Be careful not to vigorously scrape over the stencil or it could tear and product could seep under the stencil causing a blurred edge. A few of blurred edges are acceptable, but if too much product gets under the stencil, it will be visible in the final effect. Wash stencil frequently during application to prevent build up. Let dry at least overnight.

Step 4: Trowel on Rhino LusterStone® backfilling the stenciled pattern. With the edge of a clean trowel, scrape over the surface to remove excess LusterStone® and to reveal Tiger Eye Venetian Gem®. Topcoat as needed.
