Tricks of the Trade
Sand painting - tidying up
When working with fine sand it sometimes will stick to sections of your project you do not want it to. To remove this unwanted sand simply brush lightly with a small brush.
Sand painting - varnish
To ensure a good even coverage of varnish and so you do not rub off any of the sand use a spray varnish so give a long lasting finish to your projects.
