Dixie Belle Gator Hide

Tips!

• Can be applied over Dixie Belle’s Best Dang Wax. Unlike other waxes on the market, Best Dang Wax is water based. You must buff wax well before applying.
• I personally do not recommend Gator Hide over transfers for newbies, as curling can occur if the transfers are not rubbed on (burnished) well. Use Dixie Belle’s Clear Coats for a better option. Watch here for tips on applying and sealing transfers by Brushed Brandy.
• Allow your finished piece to completely dry.
• Shake and stir to make sure you incorporate any sediment.
• You can apply Gator Hide with DBP Synthetic Brushes or you may also like the Blue Applicator Sponge  to apply your Gator Hide and you can see how here!
• Mist your brush or sponge with water.
• Simply brush on a very thin layer of Gator Hide. Let it dry and then apply another very thin layer. Let it dry and apply one more very thin layer. It will take 3 very thin layers to get the water repellent finish.
• If using over darker colours, a few drops of that colour in the Gator Hide can minimise streaking.
• It will begin to dry in seconds so its important not to over work Gator Hide. Long, thin strokes. A 48- hour dry time is recommended between coats.
• Great for tables, cabinets and counter tops!
