In reply to Heidi.

I didn’t really use GLAZE at all. Just the dark paint over the light paint. No top coat or anything. This was a long time ago. If I were to do it today, I’d probably use some Heirloom Traditions Wax over it to protect it and give it a nice sheen.

I hope this helps!

Did you put a glaze over it after you were done painting?

Sounds like something I can do(and I love to spray paint!). I just need to find that right item to test on! Great job, and thanks for showing the difference with paints and heavy vs. light glaze.

YES!! Someone else cheats out there and just uses paint to glaze! :) There are so many other variations one can do if they use this method. Very nice!

Hi there, thanks so much for that post, it was brilliant. I have only recently started glazing stuff like this as previously my ‘antiquing’ method of choice was a dark oak coloured wax (which works quite well, but I wanted to try this glazing thing I read about so much!) I started off using burnt umber but the stuff I had was really too reddish in colur for my liking so I added some black and it turned out ok. Since then I have changed to a water based wood stain (colour ‘wenge’) and I like that alot better. I use basically the same technique as you but I wipe it off with a wet face cloth, I like the texture of the cloth which helps give me the ‘lines’ I want in my finish, and with the cloth being wet it helps remove stain that has partially dried already. Thanks again for the great post!

Nice tutorial. And you are right, everyone has their own personal technique and that can make it all very confusing. Thanks for sharing your glazing method!
