SofTex™ is a versatile, easy to apply material. Translucent and soft to the touch, it can be used to create linen effects and dimensional color patterns as well as simulating heavy fabric. As a result of its excellent bonding capability, water based SofTex™ is able to fill minor wall cracks and defects. In addition, SofTex™ also has sound absorbing qualities that make it a truly unique material.

Basic Application:

  • Make sure the work surface is clean, dry and fully cured. For best results, apply 2 even coats of AquaBond™, AquaSeal™ or SetCoat™. Allow to dry 4 hours between coats and then overnight.
  • If desired, SofTex™ can be tinted with AquaColor™ or Faux Creme Color™ prior to application.
  • Using a brush, roller or spray unit, apply an even coat to the work surface. Then using a trowel, dry brush, large pouncing brush or comb, create a texture/pattern in the material.
  • Different methods will result in a variety of textures, some softer than others.
  • Allow the SofTex™ layer to dry for approximately 2- 4 hours (depending on drying conditions)
  • After the material is dry to the touch, additional layers may be applied to create a more dimensional surface.
  • Once SofTex™ is fully dry; the work surface can be further enhanced with a color glaze mixture such as AquaCreme™ combined with AquaColor™.

Tips:

  • In areas of heavy traffic, a light coat of ColorSeal™ will help prevent scratching or marring of the SofTex™ surface.
  • SofTex™ may be used for exterior applications; however, under certain conditions a special UV topcoat is recommended. AquaThane™ is the preferred topcoat to protect the finish from extreme heat and freezing.
  • Normal drying time is 2 - 4 hours at 75° F.
  • For spray applications, thin SofTex™ up to 25% with water.
  • SofTex™ can be spatter sprayed, allowed to dry for 10 - 20 minutes and then dry brushed into a beautiful pattern.
