Application process of Worn Leather.
Priming.
Apply one coat of Earthcote DTE Matt, tinted to your chosen Earthcote Worn Leather colour, with a Hamilton’s 225mm Polypile roller and 50mm Utility brush. Spread rate: ±7m²/L. Allow to dry for 4 hours before overcoating.
Coating:
Apply two coats of Worn Leather textured wall paint using a Hamilton’s 150mm Fibreglass brush. Use crisscross strokes to stretch the product. Spread rate: ±8m²/L. Allow 4 hours drying time between coats.
Important: Always maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks and inconsistencies. Do not attempt to patch the coating.
Sealing:
Apply two coats of Earthcote Wall Wax with a lint-free mutton cloth or a buffing machine with a lambswool pad. Spread rate: ±40m² per 2L tin. Additional coats enhance richness and depth.
Note: Wall Wax is a decorative finish with limited sealing properties. For high-traffic areas, use Midas Colour Retaining Primer or Midas Water-Based Twin Pack Acrithane.
Preventing issues and guidelines.
- Walls must be dry before painting (max. 10% moisture content).
- Ideal temperature: 10ºC–35ºC; Humidity: 10%–85%.
- White spots may appear due to lime content—this is part of the product’s natural character.
- Avoid storing or applying in cold, damp conditions to prevent “lime blooming.”
- Stir colorant immediately after adding it to prevent lumps.
- Colour may vary between batches—ensure sufficient product is ordered from the same batch.
- Only use clean tools to maintain finish quality.
- Always protect surrounding surfaces with drop sheets.
- Taping edges ensures neat finishes.
- Over-applying the product can lead to “lime burn.” Follow the recommended spread rate.
- Thoroughly polish Earthcote Wall Wax for a shiny finish. If not polished well, the surface may appear dull.
- Do not apply Earthcote Wall Wax too thickly, as it becomes difficult to polish once dry.
- Take your time—rushing may affect the final look.

Environmental Responsibility.
Proper disposal is essential. Do not wash painting tools where water drains into stormwater systems. Unused paint and empty containers should be disposed of through an approved recycling scheme or in accordance with local regulations.
Use our unique Envirowash Green Machines Envirolite Paint Disposal System that ensures that paint waste and residues from application systems are managed and disposed of in a safe, responsible manner at a registered disposal agency.
