Glazes

Bring out the details of your piece with Wise Owl's water based glaze, perfect for any project!

 

Tips:  Apply the glaze to your project after your final coat of paint has dried completely (allow paint to dry 24 hours before applying). For best results, lightly sand your painted piece,  brush on glaze in sctions and use a damp lint-free cloth to remove the excess. Allow glaze to fully dry for 2 hours. Glaze produces a strong finish but Wise Owl Varnish may be applied after 24 hours. Wearing gloves can prevent temporary staining.

What is glaze?

Glaze is a semi-translucent medium that will take your painting to the next level!

Use it in the recesses and crevices, on top of details, as a stain, to refinish hardware, or as a “wash” to deepen the color and add visual interest to a piece.
