How To Update A Shiny Gold Frame with Rub ‘n Buff
Servings: 1 frame
Equipment
- Photo frame (mine was shiny gold)
- Rub ‘n Buff in your desired color (I used Antique Gold for this project)
- Soft cloth or paper towel
Instructions
- Step 1: Clean the Frame - Start by wiping down your frame with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue. If the frame is especially dirty, you can use a gentle cleaner, but make sure it’s completely dry before applying Rub ‘n Buff.
- Step 2: Apply Rub ‘n Buff - Using a paper towel: Squeeze a tiny amount of Rub ‘n Buff onto a paper towel and gently rub it onto the frame. This works great for small frames or areas with a lot of detail. A little goes a long way, so start with a tiny amount and add more if needed.
- Step 3: Buff to a Shine - Once the Rub ‘n Buff is applied, let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Use a clean cloth to gently buff the surface. This step brings out the shine and helps smooth out any uneven application. You can leave it more matte if you prefer, or buff it to a high shine.
- Step 4: Let It Cure - Although Rub ‘n Buff dries quickly, it’s a good idea to let your frame sit for 24 hours to fully cure before handling.
- Step 5: Add Artwork - Once your frame is fully dry and you’re happy with the finish, carefully place your chosen artwork or photo inside the frame to complete your beautiful, custom piece.
