1. Measure the Powder
Start by scooping out 1-2 tablespoons of ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat into your mixing container. This amount should be enough for most minor areas, but you can adjust as needed depending on the size of the scratches.
2. Add Water
Slowly add a few drops of water to the powder. Your goal is to create a thick, peanut butter-like consistency. Add the water a little at a time while stirring, until you reach a paste that’s thick enough to stick but not too watery.
3. Mix Until Smooth
Stir the mixture well to ensure it’s smooth and free of any lumps. You want the paste to be even for easy application, so take your time with this step.
4. Apply to the Scratches
Once the paste is ready, gently apply it to the scratches using a soft cloth or sponge. Make sure to cover the affected area completely. The paste will create a protective layer over the skin, helping to soothe irritation and shield the area from further dirt or bacteria.
5. Let It Sit
Allow the paste to sit on the scratches for about 15-20 minutes. This gives the product time to work on the affected area and promote healing.
6. Rinse Off
After the paste has had time to work, rinse the area with clean water. You can use a soft cloth to gently wipe it off, making sure the skin is clean. If needed, pat the area dry with a clean towel.
7. Optional: Use ShowBarn Secret® Skin & Hair Enhancer
For added protection, you can spray ShowBarn Secret® Skin & Hair Enhancer over the treated area after rinsing. This creates an extra barrier to keep dirt and bacteria out, helping to speed up the healing process.
