This is beautiful! Wow! The white was perfect for it, and I love the use of it as a coffee table. Going to have to keep my eye out for a piano bench. As a musician, I am in love! Pinned.

In reply to Kim.

Thank you Kim! I love this glaze so much. I brush it on with a chip brush. On a project I worked on yesterday, I was seeing too many brush strokes because the base coat of paint was a little too glossy–so I did some stippling with the tips of the bristles and it turned out great. It’s a small footstool and will be posted next Wednesday.
I get notification of all comments, so yes, I did answer your question on the other post. About the dings, please remember it takes about 30 days for paint to fully cure to it’s full potential on furniture projects.
You should have gotten an email notification when I responded to the other comment. I get so many comments that at this time I can’t remember which post it was on. Let me know if you can’t find my response.
happy DIY’ing!

Hi Gail. Your piano bench turned out beautiful! I love the glaze. Do you just brush it on or do you wipe it afterwards? Another question I asked on an older post that you may never see…Can you use polyurethane or polycrylic over latex paint. I really need to know because I painted my rocking chairs and they already have dings in the paint. Thanks!

In reply to Sharon. I bet you're right Sharon about it being the piano tuner. gail

I could be wrong, but wonder if the label and date were put there by a piano tuner when the piano was tuned? My tuner used to write the date on the inside of a wooden portion of a key. The bench turned out beautiful.

That’s a great idea. I never thought of a piano stool for a coffee table.its a great place to hide the multitude of clickers too. I see so many of these at thrift stores. I had to laugh when you said you’ve lived in the same house since 76’. I moved alone twice and 8 times with my husband since then. Now in a small house in a nice city, by my kids and grand baby, I’m never moving again!
