Rosco Sample Boards

In order to test out products and show clients the finished products, Flints often make up sample boards which we keep at our London warehouse. The stock of boards is gradually expanding and we are currently in the process of up loading pictures and descriptions of the technique used. This process will take a while. In the meantime if you have a specific inquiry regarding a Rosco Texture Product we may be able to upload a board just for you!

Some of Flints wooden rivets were glued to a board which was then painted with a base of Rosco brown paint. This was then glazed with Rosco Matt glaze and iron powder was sprinkled onto it while the glaze was wet. It was then sprayed with vinegar through a plant sprayer. The rust effect happens immediately. Excess powder can be brushed off. It can be further protected with another coat of glaze once it has dried.

The blue area of this board with covered with calico and painted with Rosco Supersaturated paint. It was cut away and peeled back in the corner for the rust effect. The calico could easily be made to bubble to break up the surface as if rust was forcing its way through. The rust effect was achieved by painting the base area in a brown Rosco paint then applying Rosco matt glaze. While the glaze is wet sprinkle in iron powder and then spray with vinegar through a plant mister. It will rust immediately. Sarsons works as well as balsamic. Excess powder can be brushed off. It can be further protected with another coat of glaze once it has dried.

This was a mix of Rosco Gloss Glaze with our Pearl Powder applied over a white background. Obviously the background colour could be changed to achieve any colour with a more interesting soft sheen surface finish than just a plain gloss.

The Rosco CystalGel was applied to this piece of Perspex with a spray hopper gun on a large setting. It would be ideal for rain effects on window panes. The CrystalGel is very tough and can not be scratched off.

The CrystalGel was applied with a rubber spatula to Perspex. It allows light and broken images to travel through the sheet but it obscures detail.

CrystalGel is great for securing glitter finishes. It is fantastically tough and clear and it sticks to virtually anything. This was quickly applied by brush over a blue base colour but spraying it would achieve a more even finish. The Iris Disco glitter is irridescent so it changes colour in different light conditions.

Again CrystalGel works as a great medium to secure glitter and mica flakes. This was randomly brushed over a Rosco Blue background to achieve an interesting and strong surface texture.

A really deep pearl effect finish was achieved. This was quickly applied by brush but spraying or a roller would achieve a more even result. Applying these pearl finishes to curves or mouldings helps the effect. Adding less powder would allow more blue to shine through.The surface is very strong.
