Glazy Days

Glazing is manipulating a wet medium over a dried basecoat.  However, this simple definition gives no indication of how a room with ordinary 'flat' walls can be transformed into something fabulous with a glaze finish!

Almost any tool you might imagine can be pushed into wet glaze to create a variety of effects.  You may be familiar with many common glazing tools, such as rags, plastic bags, feather dusters and, of course the infamous sea sponge.

But don’t be afraid to experiment with any kind of cloth, brush, comb, corncob or even the fingers on your hand.  Be daring or subtle, leave the glaze heavy or take most of it off, keep fussing or work fast and leave it alone – it's completely up to you.

Our Caromal Colours® Glazes give you plenty of working time.  Glazes are available in coffee, tea and clear stains and can be purchased in our Chester, New Jersey store.  Want to learn more about the glazing technique?  Check out our "Let's Get Plastered Classes" taught in our store's finishing studio.  Call us at 908-879-0095 for more information about class schedules.

All you have to do is bring your creativity and have some fun.
