Eco-Flo Cova Color 62 ml - Gold

Eco-Flo Cova Color is a specially formulated acrylic paint that is water-based and has a low content of volatile organic compounds (V.O.C.). It is designed for use on vegetable-tanned leather, which is commonly used in leather crafting, such as tooled leather, wallets, belts, and other leather projects.

Features and Usage

Cova Color provides a smooth and opaque color when used at full strength. If a more subtle color effect is desired, the paint can be diluted with water. By adding enough water, the color becomes almost transparent, allowing it to be used as a "wash" or glaze. This is particularly useful for shading, toning, or creating color transitions on leather surfaces.

The colors in the Cova Color range can be mixed to create a wider spectrum of shades, making it highly versatile for leather artists and crafters who require precise color tones in their work.

Specifications

Instructions for Use

To achieve the best results, follow these steps:

1. Shake well before use: The ingredients in the paint may settle over time, so thorough shaking ensures an even color and consistency.
2. Application: Apply the paint using high-quality artist brushes or a sponge brush, depending on the desired effect.
3. Layering: Multiple coats can be applied for a deeper and more intense color. Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next to avoid uneven application or dissolving previous layers.
4. Cleanup: The paint can be easily removed from brushes and tools by cleaning with soap and warm water immediately after use.

Important Information and Limitations

• Frost Sensitivity: This product should not be stored in freezing temperatures, as it may affect the paint’s consistency and usability.
• Surface Preparation: The leather should be clean and dry before application to ensure optimal adhesion and a smooth finish.
• Protection of Finished Work: Once painted, the final project can be sealed with an appropriate leather finish to extend its durability and resistance to wear and moisture.

Cova Color is a user-friendly and flexible paint for leatherwork, suitable for both beginners and experienced artisans looking for a creative and versatile way to color leather.
