How Do You Use Valspar Translucent Glaze?
Glaze is a translucent medium used for a variety of decorative painting techniques. It is one of the staple ingredients in a faux painter’s tool box. Valspar translucent glaze is available for purchase at Lowe’s home improvement stores. The glaze comes pretinted, or it can be custom tinted using latex paint. Pearlescent and metallic glazes are also available. Use glaze on a variety of paint projects from smooth walls to heavily plastered ceilings. Remember to always experiment with sample boards prior to tackling a larger, more permanent project. Use glaze on walls to create a colorwashed look. Mask off the wall or walls to be painted using 1-inch painter’s tape. Apply tape to the baseboard, ceiling and trim as well as any other items touching the surface to be painted. Remove all furniture from the room if possible, or cover with heavy plastic sheeting. Cover floors with drop cloths. Unscrew all outlet covers and place screws and outlets into a small plastic bag so they don’t get lost
