Fusion Accents
Established in 1989, Homestead House Paint Co., a local Ontario based company, began its life as a reproduction furniture manufacturer that found a need to create its own authentic milk paints to replicate beautiful old world finishes.
Recognizing a need in the market for these specialty products, they quickly expanded their paint line to offer a variety of other coatings and finishes.
These include their 100% Acrylic Exterior & Traditional Oil paints, and their newest product line Fusion™!
We at Colour Oasis are long standing dealers of specialty paints like Homestead House Paint and many of our staff members have completed numerous projects using these products ourselves. If you need some help or guidance on to create a particular effect, feel free to ask, we would be pleased to help.

Fusion™ Beeswax Block
Fusion™ Beeswax Distressing Block
This is a pure, 100% natural beeswax block, designed to make it super easy to create that distressed finish, so many of us love.
For exact placement of distressed lines and edges, press the wax along the edges where you would like to see the distressed antiquing effect between layers of paint.
Anything that is applied on top of the waxed areas will easily distress without too much sanding! You will notice this resist once you are giving your piece a light sanding at the end of your application of all layers of paint.
The paint underneath the wax will remain in place, and any paint applied on top of the wax will come off effortlessly, allowing for the perfect distressed look.
This is a pure, 100% natural beeswax block.
