Timbers
Antique Design systems are suitable for a huge range of timbers. To choose the most appropriate system satisfying specific needs, this handbook is based on two macro-categories of timber families: rich in tannin and tannin-free woods. Tannin is an organic substance contained inside plant species.
Naturally rich in tannin woods
durmast, chestnut, walnut, elm, acacia, etc.
Tannin-free woods
pine, fir, ash, cherry wood, tanganyika, beech, etc.
Antique effect system
for tannic woods
Antique Design products can react directly with the tannin, contained inside the wood, thus creating unique shades and effects, together with a refined vintage look.

| TY M113 T62 | Green-blue shade |
| TY M113 T80 | Grey-blue shade |
Application: by manual spray gun, brush
KY M11X / Equalizers
They stop the chemical reaction between the stain and the tannin. They make the colour stable, ready to be overcoated

FOCUS
Natural look
ageing promoter
KG M121
To obtain a more antique look, it is possible to apply the ageing promoter KG M121. It is a liquid with a high concentration of extenders, to be diluted according to the specific needs, to obtain different shades of ageing look. It is easy to use and it can be applied directly on both the reagent and on raw wood. Unlike the conventional patinas, it does not need the application of the basecoat, thus accelerating the production processes. Thanks to its formula, it can be easily removed by scotch brite, simplifying the sanding phase. It simulates the effect of a bleached patina and can me mixed with the usual pigments to obtain endless trendy shades.
NOTES TO OBTAIN AN OPTIMAL RESULT
- The colour results can vary according to the kind of wood, the modalities of application, the drying time of Antique Design reagents, the quantities and the applied coats of equalizer, and to its potential dilution
- Preliminary tests are suggested to ensure the desired final result
- Do not mix the products. To obtain different colour shades, dilute only with distilled water
