Dirty Down Soot Black Ageing Spray

Soot Black ageing spray has a stronger, more powerful spray nozzle than our other ageing sprays. The spray deposits a semi-opaque layer of black dye that creates a dirty, black old or aged look. The spray is water soluble and can be smeared and reworked by wetting with water, but much less water soluble than our other ageing sprays. Fast drying. Ozone friendly.

Ageing sprays are water soluble, semi-transparent sprays for ageing costumes and props.

Soot Black is our darkest ageing spray colour, almost opaque and is the least translucent spray out of all the ageing spray colours.

One quick spray deposits a fine layer of semi-opaque coloured dye that makes clean surfaces appear to be “sooty” coal black, dirty and old, or to have “aged”.

Quick and easy to use.

• Soot Black ageing spray is great for coal and grease stains and graffiti.
• Least washable and least water soluble of all of the ageing sprays.

Usage Instructions

• The spray comes out at a faster speed than other ageing sprays – it’s best to test before use.
• Ensure surfaces are dry and grease free.
• Mask areas not to be sprayed.
• Shake can before use.
• Use sparingly, apply several fine coats rather than one heavy coat. The shade will darken with each coat applied.
• Hold can upright 30cm (12 inches) away from the surface, and spray across the surface in one smooth sweep, keeping the nozzle fully depressed. Spots of concentrated dye may appear if the button is only partially depressed.
• For small patches, spray through holes cut in a piece of paper.
• For dark patches, spray closer to the surface.
• Heavy spraying may drip or puddle.
• Smear the spray by re-wetting with water, and then dabbing or rubbing with a damp or wet cloth. With some fabrics it’s easier to smear by wetting the sprayed fabric and then rubbing the wet area together between your hands. Smearing is easier when the spray is still wet, but is also possible after the spray has fully dried. It may not be possible to smear spray applied to absorbent surfaces.
• May not adhere to some polished surfaces.
• Our ageing sprays are water soluble and the effects of spraying will be lost by washing in water, but there may still be staining.
• Do not use outside in wet weather.

Ageing spray may cause permanent staining. Test before use on off-cuts or hidden surfaces, and then wash to check for any staining.
