  1. Clean the Sardines: Carefully remove dust or residue from the ceramic sardines using a dry cloth.
  2. Paint the Sardines: Use one of the small brushes to apply a thin, even layer of high-quality acrylic paint. Allow the first coat to dry completely, then apply a second coat if needed.
  3. Let the Paint Dry: Make sure the painted sardines are fully dry before proceeding (at least 24 hours recommended).
  4. Seal the Painted Sardines: Gently wipe off any dust. Shake the varnish well, then apply a thin, even coat over the entire sardine using a brush. Brush evenly to reduce visible brush strokes and let it dry in a dust-free area.
  5. Curing Time: Leave the sealed sardines to cure for several days. Avoid touching them or placing objects on them during this time.
  6. Care and Maintenance: Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not scrub or use abrasive cleaners.

  1. Limpar as sardinhas: Remova cuidadosamente o pó ou quaisquer resíduos das sardinhas de cerâmica utilizando um pano seco.
  2. Pintar as sardinhas: Utilize um dos pincéis pequenos para aplicar uma camada fina e uniforme de tinta acrílica de alta qualidade. Deixe a primeira camada secar completamente e aplique uma segunda camada, se necessário.
  3. Deixar a tinta secar: Certifique-se de que as sardinhas pintadas estão totalmente secas antes de continuar (recomenda-se um mínimo de 24 horas).
  4. Selar as sardinhas pintadas: Remova suavemente qualquer pó. Agite bem o verniz e aplique uma camada fina e uniforme sobre toda a sardinha com um pincel. Pinte de forma uniforme para reduzir marcas visíveis do pincel e deixe secar num local livre de pó.
  5. Tempo de cura: Deixe as sardinhas seladas curar durante vários dias. Evite tocá-las ou colocar objetos sobre elas durante este período.
  6. Cuidados e manutenção: Limpe com um pano macio ligeiramente húmido. Não esfregue nem utilize produtos de limpeza abrasivos.
