evenly just like that tip number three all right tip number four once i'm getting this on distribute it evenly and then i begin my troweling and this one is specifically for metallic suede got my pattern and it does pertain to if you're ragging it or if you're random axi net with a roller what i want to do or this tip is actually do not over trowel have a tendency to do is continue traveling and working the trowel too much and over troweling it all right so i got it on now i'm going to begin troweling and i don't want to continue to trial i'm just going to hit it [Applause] get that effect that i want i'm traveling it in just a random arcing motion i like to go the opposite direction that way i can have the look that i want from different directions at different angles that suede is going to really pop at different angles i don't want to go in the same direction all the time but don't over trowel you have a tendency to keep troweling and troweling and troweling and the stuff is going to dry really quick and then what's going to happen it's going to start pulling and dragging and not giving you a smooth suede finish and that pertains to metallic suede but even if you're doing another type of effect you could be using um a turf tool or a rag tool if you um start to overwork it it's going to dry too fit too fast and your effect probably is not going to come out to the look that you want it to look so don't over trowel
