Preparing Terrazzo:
Use a plastic surface with a “gladwrap” feel, generously apply 2 x coats of paint on a roughly 20cm x 20cm surface. Let it dry. Tore it off the plastic and make it into triangle-like shapes, nothing should be perfect.
Do this with all the colors.
When you are ready to stick Terrazzo pieces onto drawers, use a paintbrush with Clear Glaze as your glue. Have fun!!!
Finish off with Clear Glaze over everything.
Seal with Clear Glaze.
