Here's How to Upgrade your Hidden Litter Box
We bought two Hidden Litter Boxes from Amazon. The idea was they were supposed to look like plant containers/big jars.
We used materials from Faux Effects, but you could substitute other venetian plaster type products.
SetCoat (or a good oilbased primer)
SandStone
AquaGlaze
First we applied a sealer/primer material that would adhere well to the plastic and give you a base to work from. While we used SetCoat, an oil primer would work.
We then used sandstone, thinned way down, and applied it with a brush, knife and roller. We pounced off the excess with a terry towel and played with it until we had a stony effect.
Next we used a glaze with some colorants added. Glaze and colorants you can get at any paint store, but we prefer Faux Effects.
You could use a sealer. We would recommend a flat sealer. Modern Masters puts out a dead flat varnish (clear acylic water based).
(If you are not up for doing all the above, we could do it for you. email us at molto@earthlink.net)
