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
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.
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.
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 EXACT color/effect i would LOVE in my very REAL working farm kitchen (needs to be cleaned/scrubbed ALOT!) is the glaze durable enough or does this company have a wax that the black could be added to? new to this and fell into the rabbit hole
Sounds amazing, yes, I would seal after glazing with their Tough Coat Sealer once fully dry. If going the wax route they have a lovely wax range including a black wax. If in North America you can find Fusion here: shop.fusionmineralpaint.ca/sharon
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.
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
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.
No, if you watch carefully from the beginning again, I’m using clear glaze (not wax) mixed with the colour. Wax and glaze are very different as you’ll see when I’m mixing. Glaze is more liquid than solid like wax. I’m using Fusion paints with built in top coat so there was no need to add any extra layer of protection between the bottom colour and the glaze colour. I hope that helps.
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.
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.
Fusion's Gel Stain is a completely different product with different purpose, feel and texture. It is thicker, and it is oil based, so will have a different application. But if you have it on hand and want to try it on a piece of scrap wood, you could. It just won't have the same ease of application as a "glaze", for all the reasons I've stated. Hope this helps.
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.
Thank you so much for that very informative video. One question: Did the base coat have a top coat in it or do I give it a light topcoat before glazing? Thanks again
Carol Porter yes it’s Fusion Mineral Paint. You can see how I dip the tips of the brush in and wipe as much as I can off onto paper before gently dragging it across the high points of the furniture piece.
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.
Hummer Klein yes you can mix any of the fusion mineral paints with the glaze including their metallics. If you’re using other products, it could be different consistency, so test on something else first. Make sure they’re water based products.
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 didn't video the glazing of the top section, but you can see the results (applied exactly the same as in this video - brush on, wipe back) in my blog post about this table here: irestorestuff.com/adding-glaze-to-furniture/
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!
No, the glaze is going directly over the Fusion paint in the Pebble colour I used as a base. Fusion has a built in top coat, so the glaze slides easily over the surface, unlike a porous paint like chalk paint, so no need to seal in between. Yes, you would still seal over top of the glaze on the top surface after glaze completely dried.
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.
Awesome tutorial!! I've been kind of intimidated & confused b/c there's an overload of info about there about glazing vs. waxing - but you make look super easy - love the added dry•brush too!! Wish I could see how you did the top - that's where I'm stressing still - want that grey/black washed driftwood look....😬
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.
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 :)
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
Hi! I'm from South Africa. I love your work. Restoring furniture is definitely an art. It is not only about painting furniture. I've made myself a farmhouse tray and I glazed it around the edges. It almost look antique with this type of look. Thanks for your videos!👍🏼🙏🏻
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.
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?
rose sullivan I brush on and wipe off the same as the sides. It works especially well where there are slight brush strokes, so I usually paint by brush and avoid sanding smooth. It’s ever so slight effect but hopefully you can see the top in some of the end close ups.
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
Not with Fusion as it has a built in top coat. If you were using on a chalk type paint or milk paint, you would definitely, as the surface is porous for those paints.
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?
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.
Oh good question - I actually haven't tried this, so really couldn't give you an honest answer. I'd say probably not, since wax would resist the glaze, being a water-based product. Waxing is usually always last in any finishing project. Try on a sample board first, but I'm fairly sure you'll find this is the case and you may see beading of the glaze as it resists the wax layer. To remove any wax, you would need to use Mineral spirits and a 0000 steel wool.
If you have used a chalk paint or a milk paint, they have a porous surface, so I recommend sealing with a water based matte sealer before glazing. Mineral Paint is different, and has a built in top coat, so doesn't need sealing.
Thank you so much! I ordered a base coat for chalk paint..now I see why the first table I refinished was a disaster!! I tried to glaze it and it wouldn't wipe off. Then I used a damp cloth and it took the paint off😂.

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/
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.
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!
If you go to 8:55 in this video, you'll see the top of the smaller table I did earlier. That is a flat surface with no details, so the glaze adds a little bit of faux texture, but not real texture. Just gives the appearance of streaky wood. If you look up my blog post you'll see this large table top with better pictures: irestorestuff.com/adding-glaze-to-furniture/
What if the piece of furniture you are refurbishing doesn't have much detail and grooves like your piece, but you want to do the same process? Would you possibly add wood appliques?
can I use acrylic black color with glaze?? & my table is dark brown,I wanna make it grey like u,will it work on this brown base coat??? or I have to change the base color??
To make it look like the one I did in this video you will need colours similar to the ones I have used. As stated in the video: base: Pebble (light grey); Glaze: Ash (dark grey mixed with clear glaze); Highlights: dry brush Lamp White (white with greyish undertones). You could use acrylic paints, probably, but I can't tell you how they will perform with the Clear Glaze as there are so many various paint qualities out there. I can only speak for Fusion Mineral Paint in this instance, which I've tried and works well with the Clear Glaze (same brand). So yes, to make it work, you can paint over the brown coat with your grey paint first, then mix a little black with your glaze, but your glaze will look darker than the dark grey I've used in this video, because you are using black and not grey. Hope this makes sense and is helpful. :)
If using on Fusion Mineral Paint, you can apply right after painting. I have also applied right after painting using Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint and other porous paints, so I would do the same. Glaze first, then varnish after for added protection if you wish.
Monika Everett you shouldn’t wax it first because it will resist the glaze layer, but instead you could use a wipe-on poly first which is water based like the glaze, or use a layer of clear glaze first before then mixing your coloured glaze. This will help the coloured glaze move around on the surface as the chalk paint is a porous finish.

Can you tell me What kind of paint did you use ? What is the name the gray? Thanks 😊 🙏

Yes, glaze is perfect for toning down the brighter whites. Thanks so much for watching!
Also, is there a finish on the grey color before you glaze it?
gina mccrudden Fusion Mineral Paint has a built in top coat, so doesn’t need a finish. So there was no need to add anything before glazing.

That’s great. Thanks for sharing.
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
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)
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💜

Hi could I use the Fusion gel stain formula since I already have it on hand to do this antique technique to the crevices? Thank you
Fusion's Gel Stain is a completely different product with different purpose, feel and texture. It is thicker, and it is oil based, so will have a different application. But if you have it on hand and want to try it on a piece of scrap wood, you could. It just won't have the same ease of application as a "glaze", for all the reasons I've stated. Hope this helps.

The glaze is a water based product so I’d suggest you use it with exterior water based products for best compatible results.
Thank you so much for that very informative video. One question: Did the base coat have a top coat in it or do I give it a light topcoat before glazing? Thanks again
Yes, Fusion paint has a built in top coat. But if you are using a chalk type porous paint, you’ll need a top coat before glazing.
Do you just use paint when you dry brush? Is it chalk paint?

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.
Cathedral Taupe for base. Chocolate with glaze, Raw Silk or Champlain for highlights.
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.
How do you feel about using a stain and finishing coat over a surface and wiping back, instead of glaze?
I've seen that done successfully too.
I’m looking for a table like this and I’m painting the table lite mint green then glaze in silver is that possible ?
Hummer Klein yes you can mix any of the fusion mineral paints with the glaze including their metallics. If you’re using other products, it could be different consistency, so test on something else first. Make sure they’re water based products.
I really luv this. What would be some good colors if I want my base to be more of an antique white color?
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.
Hello Sharon. Where can i find video of u showing ur glazing the flat top of this sofa table please?

Florida us thanks so much
Great tuition thank you
Hi. Do you have to seal after glazing. If so,is it best to use wax or a top coat
I would use a water based top coat sealer after waiting for glaze to fully dry 24 hrs.
Awesome tutorial!! I've been kind of intimidated & confused b/c there's an overload of info about there about glazing vs. waxing - but you make look super easy - love the added dry•brush too!!

What was your underlying color? Light gray or white?
I painted the table in Pebble, by Fusion Mineral Paint. It's a light gray colour.
Beautiful work. Exactly what I was looking for! From MS by way of Louisiana
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 :)
Thanks so much Tracy. So glad you’re going to give it a go. 🤗
Do they sell the colored glaze already in the store or do you have to mix the 2 to get this?
Fusion glazes come in Antiquing Glaze (brown tint) & Clear Glaze (can mix with any colours, metallics, etc.).
Can you do a turquoise glaze over oak cabinets?
You sure could! That sounds like a lovey idea.
Hello this is Lorraine Murray its 7:47p.m. I live in New Jersey,I like your video.
Hi Lorraine, thanks so much for watching!
Can you use this infusion glaze to any kind of paint or does it have to be chalk paint. The pice is beautiful you are doing. 💕
Linda Jackson thank you. It’s a water based product so should be able to use with any water based paint. Test out before using on a special project.
@@irestorestuff thank you very much
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.

Muy hermoso pero por favor en español para los q no sabemos inglés. Me encantó
This is amazing! Thanks Sharon for the help!
You’re so welcome.
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?
The Fusion Mineral Paint colour that I used for dry brushing the high points at the end, was Lamp White.
Thank you!

thank you so much
how do you glaze the top that has no groves?

Thanks for the great feedback, Priscilla. Glad to hear it was helpful.
Hi I love the way you paint and you inspired me.
Hi this looks fantastic thanks so much for sharing
You're welcome. :)

you're so welcome
Do you clear coat the item first and then glaze?
Not with Fusion as it has a built in top coat. If you were using on a chalk type paint or milk paint, you would definitely, as the surface is porous for those paints.
Will this glaze technique work on a white resin picture frame.

Great technique! Is the glaze strong enough to withstand a certain amount of daily use?
Lynn White I would add a coat of Tough Coat sealer to the top.
Do u have to seal the paint before using glaze? I have Valsor moose glaze that i want to put over white chalk paint.
If you have used a chalk paint or a milk paint, they have a porous surface, so I recommend sealing with a water based matte sealer before glazing. Mineral Paint is different, and has a built in top coat, so doesn't need sealing.
Thank you so much! I ordered a base coat for chalk paint..now I see why the first table I refinished was a disaster!! I tried to glaze it and it wouldn't wipe off. Then I used a damp cloth and it took the paint off😂.
What type of cloth do u use and where do I get the brushes please? Great job.

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.
@@irestorestuff thank you.
Hi I’m tuning in from Michigan USA love the glaze thanks!
Mavi McRobert thanks for watching.
are you using oil or water based glaze and which one gives you the longest working time and the best results
bob scales I used water based glaze. I haven’t used an oil based glaze to be able to compare.
@@irestorestuff thank you,i was impressed with your work
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!
Great! Merry Christmas to you too.
Hi Sharon, have you done any glazing to add texture to a flat piece of furniture with no detail on it?
If you go to 8:55 in this video, you'll see the top of the smaller table I did earlier. That is a flat surface with no details, so the glaze adds a little bit of faux texture, but not real texture. Just gives the appearance of streaky wood. If you look up my blog post you'll see this large table top with better pictures: irestorestuff.com/adding-glaze-to-furniture/
@@irestorestuff thank you so much!! That's really helpful, I'll go back through the video and have a look at the link!
Hi. From Tijuana,Mexico. Lovely proyect.
Do you put any type of finish over paint
You can seal with Fusion's Tough Coat wipe on Poly.
What if the piece of furniture you are refurbishing doesn't have much detail and grooves like your piece, but you want to do the same process? Would you possibly add wood appliques?
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!
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you 🙏🏻
Just started watching this first time seeing it. From Oklahoma city
Beautiful, but i didnt hear anything about how it was sealed
Use a Tough Coat wipe on poly for sealing.
Just really like this presentation, Thank you!
Hi. I’m painting a dresser with the fusion pebble paint and wanted to add something. It’s so great I turned you on ... be careful
Jello from the Big Island of Hawaii. Beautiful table.
can I use acrylic black color with glaze?? & my table is dark brown,I wanna make it grey like u,will it work on this brown base coat??? or I have to change the base color??
To make it look like the one I did in this video you will need colours similar to the ones I have used. As stated in the video: base: Pebble (light grey); Glaze: Ash (dark grey mixed with clear glaze); Highlights: dry brush Lamp White (white with greyish undertones). You could use acrylic paints, probably, but I can't tell you how they will perform with the Clear Glaze as there are so many various paint qualities out there. I can only speak for Fusion Mineral Paint in this instance, which I've tried and works well with the Clear Glaze (same brand). So yes, to make it work, you can paint over the brown coat with your grey paint first, then mix a little black with your glaze, but your glaze will look darker than the dark grey I've used in this video, because you are using black and not grey. Hope this makes sense and is helpful. :)
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.

Also, a big how’d from San Antonio Texas!
Hallo,shall I apply glaze after or before varnish ?
If using on Fusion Mineral Paint, you can apply right after painting. I have also applied right after painting using Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint and other porous paints, so I would do the same. Glaze first, then varnish after for added protection if you wish.
Hello I am turning in from Texas 🇺🇸 USA
Very beautiful. You do lovely work.
Watching from NZ...awesome
Thanks for watching!
Wow. This one is particularly lovely. Thank you
love your technique thank you for sharing
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!
what was the original paint color before you put on the glaze?
Absolutely gorgeous! I will definitely try this technique!! All the way from Arkansas USA...thank you!
Peggy Weatherford oh great! Thank you for watching and subscribing. 😁
can i glaze over chalk paint and do i need to wax it first before glazing
Monika Everett you shouldn’t wax it first because it will resist the glaze layer, but instead you could use a wipe-on poly first which is water based like the glaze, or use a layer of clear glaze first before then mixing your coloured glaze. This will help the coloured glaze move around on the surface as the chalk paint is a porous finish.
Beutiful.Thank you for video
Can I used a tinted clear glazed over latex semi gloss painted cabinets? Your work is fabulous
Mikki Ford yes you probably could. Test in an area first, but if water based, should be ok.
This is beautiful! What did ou do to protect it?
Leanne Hamill you can add a clear wipe on poly over glaze to protect.
