Glaze Effects are translucent water based colours used to create beautiful decorative finishes such as distressing, marble, shabby chic, burnishing, colour washing, rag rolling and wood graining. Use over Water Based Wood Stains, Waterbased paints and Milk Paints. Glaze has a long open time (dries slowly) to give you time to manipulate it and create bespoke effects.
Glaze Effects can be inter-mixed or layered to create custom colours. They may also be layered over one another to create deeper, richer looks.
Apply glaze to your painted product and wipe back to acheive the desired effect -
- Wipe back to leave the glaze sat in the mouldings to accent them and create depth
- Rag roll or stipple to create textured finishes
- Use a woodgraining tool for wood effects
- Layer glazes for interesting depth and intensity
- Use our glazes for marbling
- Add an authentic aged patina with our brown glazes
- Use the white glaze to whitewash your piece
- Use the black glaze for elegant drama
You can apply a coat of High Performance Topcoat prior to glazing if you would like create a barrier and give you even more control over your finish. You can also use Extender as a resist on areas that you would like to completely wipe the glaze back from.
