Ribbon Rail Part 2

Instructions

Adding Detail to Your Sign

  • Once your red and blue is completely dry, you can add some detail with a tiny brush and white paint.
  • Paint little swiss polka dots with the tip of your paint brush or a mechanical pencil on your red letters up above.
  • Add some thin white lines around the edges of your rectangular section of your rail.
  • Let dry completely. Use a blow dryer if necessary.

Applying Gaps and Cracks for This Project... and a few others too

  • Wear a shower cap, gloves, and an apron because this stuff is next to impossible to get off. Trust me… be prepared.
  • Once you use this product, I have not found a way to save it to use for a second project later on. So, think ahead of things to use it for so you can get the most out of it. Other Project ideas listed below.
  • Be sure to shake your Gaps and Cracks for a solid 30 seconds.
  • Screw on the screw cap and give a little head start off to the side to activate your foam.
  • Spray foam directly on to the painted blue base of your rail. Remember it will expand to 3x its’s size, so don’t do too much.
  • Cupcake Liner project - Line your cupcake tin with your 4th of July (or any design you choose) liners. Spray Gaps and Cracks to barely cover the bottom of each liner, since it will expand. Just a dob will do! They can be cut down once dry and just remember to take your time.
  • Metal tin - Spray your Gaps and Cracks foam into the base of your metal tin, filling it only ½ way full since it will expand.
  • Grapevine - Spray inside on ¼-½ in the center of your grapevine.
  • Tobacco Basket - Spray the inside base of this basket all over inside to fill it up. If it comes out the backside, that is ok. I will exacto the excess off once it dries. Don’t stress.
  • Decorative Cup - Spray the remainder of your Gaps and Cracks so you can get the most out of this product.
  • Take your gloves off before you touch anything. This stuff is extra sticky. Remember to take the gaps and cracks straight out to the trash can so the pressure doesn’t cause it to explode.
