1. Seal your substrate: Whether you are applying color with a wiping stain or going for a natural wood look, be sure to seal your piecce before you apply glaze.
2. Scuff sand your sealer and Apply Glaze: Once you have sealed your substrate, scuff sand with 320 grit and apply glaze on top of coating.
3 Make a Tampon: Make a ball with a small rag and wrap it with a clean white rag. This tampon will serve as your applicator.
4 Apply Glaze Liberally: Using small circular motion, apply glaze liberally with your tampon. Cover piece uniformly and allow to dry for 5 minutes until glaze achieves a pudding texture.
5 Carefully Remove Glaze: The most important step, carefully wipe off glaze in the direction of the grain. Use very light passes to achieve desired opacity. Use a clean tampon for this step. Refer to product details for drying time and apply a sealing coat.
Happy Glazing!!
