Just a hello from me and a big thank you to all of you who have shared my glazing video! Please feel free to share the love - embed in a blog post if you think it will be a helpful tutorial to your readers; share on your social media channels. I am super grateful. xSharon.
love the way you demo and talk while showing us technique instead of a 5 min intro - and no music :)this helped me glaze a set of chairs for the first time
Finally someone who knows how to do it right. Good job! There are too many would be 'artist', without a sense of taste nor skill, who think smearing paint like a toddler is a technique.
Very helpful demo about glazing, bonus to learn about the dry brush technique too. Now I'm feeling more confident about finishing my buffet painting project! Thanks, from Wisconsin, USA
I've tried many techniques in the past, but I have to say I think this one is brilliant! I've never really been happy with the wax. I think the glaze is a better choice in a better way to go. Thank you for sharing this technique! I will be using it.
And the dry brush technique I love it! I've used to dry brush technique on different items. But I've never used the white. This has changed everything for me in the way of painting. Can't thank you enough!
Fellow Aussie. Loved your demonstration video. You have a great style and easy to follow. Thku.. first timer here and your video has made me brave enough to do glaze on my first project :)
Although I'm not a professional artist or decorator, I've designed turned short foot stool legs with an option to a mahogany finish being faux antique ivory. I use a clear glaze with raw umber, really getting interested in glaze. From England, stay safe in Aus.
Hi from America! I am so happy I came upon your channel today. I love what you do with furniture. I have a hall table very similar to that and I can't wait to try it!
I love your video. It’s so helpful that you repeat your products. I’m going do my 3 piece entertainment center these colors. It’s a huge piece it has raised areas and groves. Your tables are beautiful.
It,s been a few years that you made this video, but for me it,s new. Trying to decide between the glaze or the was. I heard that you couldnuse a damp cloth also, or babywipes, would that take more of for an overalll lighter look? I,m a beginner and still have a lot to learn. Thank you, fantastic result!
You could try a damp cloth or baby wipe but I think you’ll usually find that it takes most or all off. Just experiment on a sample board that you’ve used the same base paint on.
Your demonstration was really great. I loved how the table turned out. When you dried brush the whitish color, was that a special paint or just regular paint?
Well Merry Christmas! I'm in Wyoming, USA and trying to get enough nerve to attempt this on our Christmas Eve! Thanks so much, I'm feeling a lot better and plan on attempting this glazing technique after I get my cedar chest painted!
I love this. I wish I had seen this video sooner. My local fusion dealer is about 45 minutes away. I'm dying to just go there and get some glaze. I have a piece that I did in a similar gray color and this would be perfect for the piece. I tried wax and it just didn't do what I wanted so I sanded and repainted. I have the piece in my antique mall booth. I'm going to get it Monday and add glazing. It's just what it needs.
Absolutely LOVE this!!😍 Amazing how such a simple process is able to produce such stunning results! Thanks so much for sharing.🙏🏻 I love and appreciate your channel. I’m never left uninspired!🥰💜💜
Are you painting it first with Fusion mineral paint? Or just painting the glaze on the resin? If just the glaze, it will behave differently to my example, so test it out first to make sure it adheres to the surface. Can you test on back part of frame or is the surface different?
I haven’t tried that but I would say it depends on the surface, because it may resist the varnish or seal that is already on the surface. Can you test a small patch underneath or on the back?
Absolutely beautiful! You make this look so easy. This is what I want to do to my dining table and buffet. But I’m terrified! 😂 I’m going to have to have me a mentor throughout this process. Thank you for sharing your work. I e watched it probably 5 times now.
All the best with your pieces. I do offer a one-on-one mentor workshop on my website www.irestorestuff.com, or I also have a FB group called "I Restore Stuff - You Can Too" where people are welcome to post pictures and ask questions.
Does glaze have a bad smell like paint? Or harmful fumes? My husband insists that I paint outside and let dry, but now that it's cold I want to finish my piece with glaze in the house. Also, I realize that glaze works better on a piece with detail and recesses but what kind of results would I get on a completely flat piece? I'm refinishing a laminate desk after sanding and priming with oil-based white. Also is a sealant needed? This project is a test run for the dresser I want to refinish next.
Fusion Mineral Paint products have little to no odour or smell as they are VOC free - meaning no nasty chemicals. I don't use paints with VOC anymore for that reason - too much of a chemical smell and risk of headaches, etc. I paint indoors all the time with no problem. Watch the paints that you use and only use VOC free paint products. The glaze I used is a Fusion Mineral Paint product - no smell.
This technique helped bring my table up a notch in beauty...thx!! Is it better to do the paint brush strokes as smooth as possible so the glaze will have more places to go? It seems as tho the UA-camrs I watch do those crazy brush strokes in all directions. Tuning in from Pennsylvania USA💜
Oh I'm glad it helped. It depends on the effect you are going for. I tend to just brush with the grain and then wipe with the grain in long even strokes over large flat surfaces, just so it looks more like grain rather than cross-hatch type of effect. It's great to practice different looks on a piece of board or even cardboard before you start if you're not sure.
If you wanted to do this same technique on a sofa table, but you wanted to go with brown tones, what colors would you choose from the fusion line? A color for the base coat and a color to mix with glaze to get the same effect as you did with this coffee table? Most of the furniture in my house is expresso colors.
I gotta tell ya, you have made sooooo excited to redo a dresser I found today! Thank you so much for this video. I can honestly say that I thought this was going to be a lot more difficult but you made it look so easy, thanks again! PS I am watching your video from upstate New York
Thanks Tracy. So glad you're keen to try it. I'd love to see pics of your finished project! I have a facebook group and page by the same name if you'd like to share your work.
Use an off white for base such as Limestone in Fusion Mineral Paint, then use Fusion’s Antiquing Glaze which is already tinted a perfect brown for antiquing. Or you can just add brown paint to the clear glaze.
I want to add just a little bit of metallic touch over the glazing. Would you suggest that I use the dry brush technique? Feel free to suggest any products.
You can either dry brush it on or you know you can mix metallic into the clear glaze, even if you have another colour in there, you mix metallic for extra shimmer.
How long should I wait after applying the Fusion paint to then apply the premixed antique glaze? Dry to touch? Or let it cure? Debby in North Bay Canada
yes, if using chalk paint (which has a porous finish, unlike mineral paint which has a built in sealer), add a sealer before glazing for moving the glaze over the surface more easily.
#Replay. I just watched on Facebook. I am planning on putting a black glaze on my grandmothers Duncan Phyfe dining set after I paint it black. I’ve been a bit nervous to begin these large pieces. You’re encouraging me!!!
Here's a link to the blog post where I show closer pics of the top - I just used long even strokes to even out the glaze on top. Yes, seal with a Tough Coat Wipe on Poly. irestorestuff.com/2017/10/30/adding-glaze-to-furniture/
I already put top coat over my paint and now I decided use glaze. Can I put glaze over top coat and after put top coat again orI have to sand it first? Thank you
Thanks for a wonderful video! I have some wrought iron outdoor furniture. If i use the glaze over exterior paint and polyurethane it afterwards, do you think it will hold up to outdoor weather conditions? Thank you.
Very beautiful! Thank you for sharing these techniques. Could you share your brushes also. There's so many at some many price points. Your recommendation would be very helpful. Thank you and good day from Suzi in South Carolina, USA.
From Texas! Love your painting! Thank you! Can I do glazing over semi-gloss painted furniture, ir do I need to repaint to a mineral base paint first? Are the rags damp, you use to wipe off glaze? Thank you.
I haven’t used on semi gloss, but if water based paint, it should have a similar result. Practice first on a sample board. Any lint free cloth. No not damp, but sometimes I dampen if I want to wipe more off. Being damp will reactivate the glaze to move it more. But try dry first or you’ll rub it all off.
I’ve just finished watching my first online UA-cam with you, love your work. I have two bedside tables and a bed head that has been professionally painted but the white is too bright I wonder whether a glaze will work over the top to soften the look?
this is the first time i have used polyvine water based scumble glaze and i was doing great till i tried to varnish it, with water based varnish but even though what i had done was dry the varnish started to work it up,i think i mixed the glaze wrong, what i did was use the glaze with just a bit of water,should i have added some acrylic paint to the mix,would you please tell the way you mix your glaze,thank you . bob
bob scales yes if you go to the beginning of this video I show you exactly how I mix Fusions clear glaze with the Fusion mineral paint to tint the glaze. No water is added. Just glaze and the colour of paint you want to tint it with. I think you’re right. Also I would make sure to leave the glaze dry overnight at least, before varnishing. I haven’t used those brands you mentioned, so you may want to check with their manufacturer instructional info to make sure on details for their product.

Watching from near Dallas Texas. I used to do this a lot in the 70s but I’ve lost my nerve. Thanks for the refresher. I can do this!
Oh that’s great. Yes you can!
It’s so lovely to see someone from Australia demonstrating this and you do so clearly and simply, thank you from Sydney. Have subscribed.
Thanks so much, Meena! Great to know there are Aussies here watching too. Hello from Brisbane!
Love how you got right to work, and explaining all the while. From Florida, USA.

Thanks so much Tracy. So glad you’re going to give it a go. 🤗
I love this technique. I think it would wear better than wax. I love the look with the shine!! Beautiful and so classy!!!!
Beautiful. Just beautiful and the highlighting with the lamp white made this stand out! Lovely.
Thank you Yvette

Hi this looks fantastic thanks so much for sharing
You're welcome. :)
EXCELLENT Video ... I have never seen this technique. Great Job
Very beautiful. You do lovely work.
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Just really like this presentation, Thank you!
Although I'm not a professional artist or decorator, I've designed turned short foot stool legs with an option to a mahogany finish being faux antique ivory. I use a clear glaze with raw umber, really getting interested in glaze. From England, stay safe in Aus.
That’s great. Thanks for sharing.
replay. Enjoyed your video, very informative and nice delivery of message. Awesome! Florida USA
Thanks Martha for the lovely feedback.
Thank you for showing the different look with glazing, related to dark waxing. I liked the highlighting too!
Missy Gilly you’re welcome. It’s a fun technique.
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you 🙏🏻
This is the prettiest table ever! I have all the items in the video but need the perfect piece to paint.
Dee Harwood well I hope you find the perfect piece soon! It’s a fun technique to try.

The Fusion Mineral Paint colour that I used for dry brushing the high points at the end, was Lamp White.
Thank you!
That was very helpful. Thank you!
you're so welcome
What a beautiful table! I'm inspired to try glazing on my next project! Great tutorial. Thank you!!!
I'm so glad you're inspired. Thank you for watching.

hello from switzerland)
Hi thanks for watching.
Wow, gorgeous table. This looks like something I can do, I was scared to glaze thinking it’s a complicated process. Much love from the US❤️
Darth Vader so glad you found it helpful!
Just started watching this first time seeing it. From Oklahoma city
Watching from NZ...awesome
Thanks for watching!
Will this glaze technique work on a white resin picture frame.
Are you painting it first with Fusion mineral paint? Or just painting the glaze on the resin? If just the glaze, it will behave differently to my example, so test it out first to make sure it adheres to the surface. Can you test on back part of frame or is the surface different?
@@irestorestuff yes, I could test on back of frame. Thanks!
Beautifully done! 👍😀
Can you do a turquoise glaze over oak cabinets?
You sure could! That sounds like a lovey idea.
Gorgeous and elegant, nice job!!!!
thank you.
Hi, Thank you for Showing this. Do recommend this process for mdf furniture that has already been painted and glazed?
I haven’t tried that but I would say it depends on the surface, because it may resist the varnish or seal that is already on the surface. Can you test a small patch underneath or on the back?
@@irestorestuff the back has a different finish. Do you think I should sand it first?
@@knafa8 yes sanding would definitely help with grip for the glaze. I recommending sealing when finished too. After glazing.
@@irestorestuff great! is there a sealer you recommend?
@@knafa8 Fusion’s Tough Coat Sealer.

I do the same but I use ebony oil based stain. Takes a few days to dry but it's so worth it.
That would be nice too!

You can glaze after dry time (approx 2-4 hours), then after completely finished your whole piece, start counting your cure time (approx 21 days)
After you chalk paint, do you need sealer before you glaze or after you glaze?
yes, if using chalk paint (which has a porous finish, unlike mineral paint which has a built in sealer), add a sealer before glazing for moving the glaze over the surface more easily.

First time to see your video really enjoyed. Love the color technique you used on the coffee table. Gorgeous.
That’s beautiful
thank you.
Beautiful work. Exactly what I was looking for! From MS by way of Louisiana
Really nice finish. What kind of paint do you mix with the glaze? Would it be ok to mix chalk paint with the glaze?
Aura Main Faion Mineral Paint. Yes you can try a water based paint with the glaze. Experiment on a sample board.
Fusion Mineral Paint.
I Restore Stuff - Upcycled Furniture & Decor Thanks👍🏼
I already put top coat over my paint and now I decided use glaze. Can I put glaze over top coat and after put top coat again orI have to sand it first? Thank you
As long as you have used a water based top coat you can glaze over top of it.
@@irestorestuff Thank you so much

Great tuition thank you
Gorgeous!
Thanks for a wonderful video! I have some wrought iron outdoor furniture. If i use the glaze over exterior paint and polyurethane it afterwards, do you think it will hold up to outdoor weather conditions? Thank you.
The glaze is a water based product so I’d suggest you use it with exterior water based products for best compatible results.
Do you use a protective coat after applying the glaze such as polyacrylic or polyurethane? Or is the glaze acting as a protective coat?
Amber Burns it’s recommended to use a tough coat sealer over top of glaze.
Hello thank you for sharing this beautiful technique, it is stunning Love It.
Gorgeous, I love the colors. Thank you!
I love the finish of this piece. I can’t wait to start working on my own tables. Thank you :)
Very beautiful! Thank you for sharing these techniques. Could you share your brushes also. There's so many at some many price points. Your recommendation would be very helpful. Thank you and good day from Suzi in South Carolina, USA.
I love to use Cling On Brushes, self cleaning in water, smooth finishes, tapered synthetic bristles. amzn.to/3QBg1Kf
Does glaze work on Semi-Gloss Paint, too? Also, what type of wipe off cloths do you use and is cloth damp? Thank you!
From Texas! Love your painting! Thank you! Can I do glazing over semi-gloss painted furniture, ir do I need to repaint to a mineral base paint first? Are the rags damp, you use to wipe off glaze? Thank you.

Is the glaze wax based
No it’s a water based product
@@irestorestuff thank you, I purchased some
I’ve just finished watching my first online UA-cam with you, love your work. I have two bedside tables and a bed head that has been professionally painted but the white is too bright I wonder whether a glaze will work over the top to soften the look?
Yes, glaze is perfect for toning down the brighter whites. Thanks so much for watching!
