Danny BusselleI need some advice on how I can "age" a sign painted on a brick wall. I used Gary Anderson's paint so all is acrylic latex. The sign,(3' x 30')is painted on an interior brick wall of a condominium. The original sign was painted on the exterior of this same wall so the owner decided to keep the original look but as a piece of art. (This condo is reeeeeally nice so I don't think sandblasting is in the running). Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John

Nanny BusselleDanny, I never heard anyone say this publicly! This has been a studio secret for several generations. But why the cheese cloth?
Cheese Cloth Is to Strain the mixed Iron Sulfate You must keep stiring it or it will clmup up like a dirt cloug. My spelling is very Hit and Miss
