Great video thanks. I find glazing very intimidating, I tried it once on a credenza with lots of detail and by the end I was pulling my hair out lol I ended with a sticky mess and very uneven strokes. I do like how it gets in every crevice of the wood and looks amazing. You make it look easy so maybe I’ll give it another go😉
You can also dip a textured sponge into a bowl of water and strain it a little then dip it into a bowl of glaze and sponge it on .. its a really nice antique effect when using milk paint over chalk paint 🎨
Thank you for all the tips. Glad I saw this before antiquing an ornate mirror frame with metallics. Plan to use chalk paint Old White, Annie Sloan, then paint over with white metallic. Next, let dry then antique with clear finish glaze mixed with dark metal metallic. Will test on samples first. Pray for me!!
Very nice. Thanks for the tutorial. I’m painting and antiquing a church pew and I didn’t know whether I should put a sealer first, before antiquing it. I now know to seal it BEFORE antiquing it. Also, I didn’t know using the Krud Cutter and spray bottle were so useful. You saved me from potentially ruining my church pew. This tutorial was very helpful.
Love it! I have a side table that my Dad built when he and my mom got married. It's very old and needs to be refinished really bad. I kept trying to think of what finish I wanted to do. Thanks to you, I have finally made up my mind. TFS. Beautiful job👍! Hugs from Florida 🌴😎💙😎🌴
Oh yay, I'm so glad this was helpful! It's a finish that's not for everyone, but it's very unique!! Sounds like a special table for sure. Hugs from PA right back 😊❤
I found this video in may purchased all of the stuff then couldn’t find it again for months. My first tries were a disaster. I used beyond paint and the general finish black glaze. Looked horrible. My water sprayer was too wet and wrong crud cutter was used (didn’t even know they had different kinds🤷♀️). Found this again, Thank to Lord, and realized I missed one IMPORTANT point. Put a top coat under glaze of paint doesn’t have a sheen. Amazing difference! Now following so I don’t lose you. Thank you so much! Moral of the story is watch whole video carefully, write down points and for goodness sake subscribe… or at least book mark or you will never find the same video again!!! Thank you!
thank you for this informative video! great job. I understand that this glazing technique works well with the types of furniture that have frames, curves, engravings etc. where the glaze stays after wiping, but what if I need to glase a simple painted stool that doesn't have those? Its very basic stool, just legs and the top, and I wonder what stays and where when I cover it with the glaze and wipe afterwards. I painted it in nice yellow, but wanted to add some used antique look with dark edges and some dark patina around the joints. But the issue is that using your technique the glaze at the edges, where I do want it to stay, will most probaly get wiped off. What do you think I shall do to make it look like a want? And would the whole thing work if I use watered down dark acrylic paint over the main layer of paint, also acrylic? thank you!
I’m doing a really detailed chair and possibly more and it is so difficult because I’m using Vandyke brown and a creamy white on it and it just seems like I’m brushing it on because and if there’s one mistake made it shows it and then I have to redo the whole thing
I think this video just saved my life I just purchased a bed Recently but it got damaged in a move Will this work even if my headboard has a lot of detail by the way I have a gardener white Wimberley bed if that helps
@@ermejia13 No I do not. This is my first time attempting something like this. My mother has a china cabinet and a few other pieces that I would like to do this to. I went yesterday and purchased some chalk paint, antiquing glaze, and some sealing wax. What does the glaze extender do?
Hi very good video! I am redoing my painted (white) kitchen cabinets with chalk paint. May try laying colors and applying glaze. I purchased a top coat, however am confused as now you suggest that it go on BEFORE the glaze? Huh, I assumed it was at the end thus TOP coat?
Me encanta como ha quedado su trabajo.Pero no se ni papa d ingles. Me podria decir lo q mezcla con un poco d agua? Cera no verdad? Pintura tal vez? Un beso y seguire sus trabajos
Hello! I came across your video looking for help to glaze my pantry door in my kitchen. I appreciate all the information you’ve given! My question is, does glaze “bleed”? My contractor is telling me that it will spread because the door isn’t finished the same way cabinets are. Have you had this happen? Also, what kind of finish do you put on after you’ve completed the glazing process? I truly appreciate your help!
I love the look of this. I have a buffet table that I am going to convert to a vanity and have painted it white using regular latex paint that I would like to now glaze to bring out its details. . If I want to use glaze like you did above, should I topcoat it with general finishes BEFORE I glaze then top coat again? I want to make sure I can move the glaze around like you did in the video. And since you dont need too much glaze or top coat for that matter, do you have another brand that you recommend that might be a bit more budget friendly that comes in a smaller size? Love your videos, please keep them coming :)
Please, can you provide me with the color of glaze you used in the first piece of furniture? Also wich color glaze is a good choice for using on top of a light taupe color chalk paint? Thank you so much for helping me
Can a second coat of the glaze be applied? I tried a second coat and it completely removed the first coat. Now i have to start over... prime again and reapply the base coat 😢
I have a small bookcase I painted in chalk paint but would love to add a glaze to it, but it has a very flat finish. Should I put on a clear wax before adding a glaze to it? I'm very new at this so your help is very much appreciated. Also, it is a light rose/pink color and what color glaze would you recommend? I was thinking a brown or grayish color. Thanks, again.
Just bought a used telephone table that has been glazed. I like the color, but it has places on edges where the paint has chipped. What is the best way to touch up an already-glazed piece of furniture?
I was thinking of painting my previously cherry stained oak kitchen cabs in a antique white GF milk paint. I want to glaze with GF van dyke brown. I was thinking of also using the GF pearl effects paint in champagne as another layer. Do you think I should use the pearl finishes after the antique white, but before I glaze with van dyke brown? Or do you think I should paint antique white, glaze, and then top coat i the champagne? I don’t have an extra door to practice on.
That sounds amazing! I think I would do Antique White, Glaze, then Pearl Effects. If you would feel better practicing, I would either do 1 door and play with it (you can always paint it over and start again) or go to a home recycling center, they usually have old cabinet doors for just a few dollars. I hope that helps! Good luck!!
after you chalk painted the table did you put a protective top coat on Before Glazing . Or did you just Glaze after chalk painting and then put a top coat, or No topcoat was needed?
This was General Finishes Milk paint as the base coat. It didn't need sealing because it has a bit of sheen to it. If I was using chalk paint (that's so matte) I would have used a layer of topcoat between paint and glaze.
Thank you for this video. Love it! I painted my bathroom cabinet in Annie Sloan gray chalk paint. I then used clear and black wax. It drove me nuts because it wouldn't go on smoothly. Would have no black wax or too much. I have removed the wax and I'm going to repaint. Would a regular paint (Behr) work with the glaze? Then could I protect with the top coat? Many thanks!
Hello, I love your videos they are so helpful! I am looking to paint my kitchen cabinets using general finishes seagull gray milk paint with a pitch black glaze. I am going to use the stain blocking primer and am wanting to add a top coat but want to avoid yellowing. What would you suggest for a top coat?
Yes, apply the glaze after sealing IF you are using chalk paint. This GF milk paint has enough sheen that the sealer isn't necessary before the glaze. The krud cutter doesn't remove the paint.
Thank you for such great information. I recently painted a shelf with off-white eggshell latex paint. Could I do a honey glaze on top or do I have to apply a sealer first?
This happens when I layer paint, but I haven't had it happen with the glaze. General Finishes Milk Paint is not one you can "re-wet" so once it's on and cured it doesn't usually pull back up. I think the glaze is just the right consistency to add layers, not remove the paint underneath.
Roots & Wings Furniture LLC you said once it’s cured? The piece you were working on in the video, how long had it been painted before you glazed? I thought curing took about 30 days.
Yes, you may want to test it in a corner if you can. If the gloss is too much, take some 220 grit sandpaper and lightly sand (just to dull the shine a bit) before applying the glaze. That should work!
Thanks for the video. Quick question I just finished painting some furniture with white chalk paint and I added some brown wax to it but now I want to add some shinny tone. What do you recommend using that it is easy to use. I not looking for a protective coating.
You could add some shimmer like I did in this video: th-cam.com/video/8ZhN8c8tU0U/w-d-xo.html or you could just add a shiny top coat like this: dixiebellepaint.com/gloss-clear-coat/?aff=177
Well, call me crazy but I just don’t understand why it wasn’t just painted light gray lol,... especially or at least on the top. Otherwise, why bother washing the table in its entirety then use Krud kutter to make the main parts white again when you could just Kay the glaze right where you want it to be on the low spots and Voila!
No, although some people use it the same way (which works in most cases). Gel stain is really meant to cover wood (finished or unfinished) and is oil based, which makes it harder to work with in this kind of application.
most of the time, I admire your videos. However, the color combination was a miss for me..The glazing added little value to the table because it was such a poor example of this technique.
I agree with you, this wasn't the best combo for the glaze and the paint. However, I did want to use a bold combination so that it would show very well in the video.
Yes, but I would recommend a top coat over the chalk paint before you glaze. If you don't the glaze will soak into the chalk paint and be a bit of a mess.
Great video thanks. I find glazing very intimidating, I tried it once on a credenza with lots of detail and by the end I was pulling my hair out lol
I ended with a sticky mess and very uneven strokes. I do like how it gets in every crevice of the wood and looks amazing. You make it look easy so maybe I’ll give it another go😉
Yes, I think many people find it intimidating! I think the key is keeping it wet and having some Krud Kutter handy. Give it a try and see how you do!!
Thank you very much
I would think adding extender to the glaze would solve the entire problem. Yes? No?
You can also dip a textured sponge into a bowl of water and strain it a little then dip it into a bowl of glaze and sponge it on .. its a really nice antique effect when using milk paint over chalk paint 🎨

I've seen baby wipes used instead of crud kutter. I've sprayed easy peasy wax on top of my chalk paint to allow the glaze to wipe off easy video.
Great tip. The wax should do the trick. The glaze is a beautiful finish.
Just beautiful! I’m inspired now to use glaze on my next project. Thanks

I've done many pieces with no detail, it still looks amazing
Good Job! I will have to try the General Finishes Glaze for sure!

Nice job
Can i use any kind of paint first ? Thanks for this ..i am getting ready to tackle some brown kitchen cabinets.. wanting an antique white look
Awesome video! Thank you
It's easy to use glaze on chalk paint if you apply clear glaze before tinted glaze, and if you don't like it you can remove it with clear glaze
Will it be too "caked on" with so much glaze?
@@WhereAmEye2187 no, do you have the glaze exterder?
It gives you a longer working time

Great video! But I didn’t understand what you meant by “top coat”...looking to do a pearl sheen for a painted white mantle Thank You!
I think it means like a protective coat. To keep it from getting scratched, maybe even make it more shiny.
Can you use chalk paint and then do this process with the products you used? Or does it have to be general finish products?
I have a stained kitchen table that has a yellowish tint. I want to refinish but it seems so overwhelming. Can this be done over stained wood?

Roots & Wings Furniture & Home thank you!
What type of topcoat should be used? Is it a clear polyurethane?
Would you still use a protective coat if you're going to use the glaze? :)
Yes

I am going to use the stain blocking primer and am wanting to add a top coat but want to avoid yellowing. What would you suggest for a top coat?
I would use their High Performance Top Coat. Your black glaze will help hide/prevent any yellowing!
I've never had milk paint not be chippy except on raw wood. Why use milk paint if not for the chipping? Why not use cheaper latex paint?
Can you use glaze over waxed chalk paint? If you can do you need to re wax after glaze dries?
Anybody tell you b4 you look like Olvia Wilde :D Great video. Thank you
Do you apply the glaze after sealing? And will the krud cutter remove the paint underneath at all?
Yes, apply the glaze after sealing IF you are using chalk paint. This GF milk paint has enough sheen that the sealer isn't necessary before the glaze. The krud cutter doesn't remove the paint.
Español gracias
Thank you for such great information. I recently painted a shelf with off-white eggshell latex paint. Could I do a honey glaze on top or do I have to apply a sealer first?
Yes, I think a glaze on top of latex paint should work just fine!!
Can you do this on laminate particleboard?
How do you not pull the paint back up when you do this method?
This happens when I layer paint, but I haven't had it happen with the glaze. General Finishes Milk Paint is not one you can "re-wet" so once it's on and cured it doesn't usually pull back up. I think the glaze is just the right consistency to add layers, not remove the paint underneath.
Roots & Wings Furniture LLC you said once it’s cured? The piece you were working on in the video, how long had it been painted before you glazed? I thought curing took about 30 days.
Can DB Silk be used as the base color? I know that has a low sheen :)
Would this glaze go over a previously painted white headboard?
Yes! I think that would be a great way to change the look of something that's already painted.
Do you think the glaze would work on a piece spray painted with a glossy paint?
Yes, you may want to test it in a corner if you can. If the gloss is too much, take some 220 grit sandpaper and lightly sand (just to dull the shine a bit) before applying the glaze. That should work!
My glaze has dried, will the cutter still remove it?

Polycrylic spray!! Brush on poly will smear your paint job!!
Can you apply glaze directly to chalk painted furniture or should I add top coat first
Top coat first. If you apply a glaze directly, it will soak into the chalk paint and be really hard to move around and work with!
Roots & Wings Furniture & Home what top coat do you recommend? Could you use a matte top coat?
iyssanclaire had same question. Thanks
The crud cutter does not do anything to the paint??
Not General Finishes Milk Paint, I can't say I've tried it with other brands though, so do a test area if you are using something different!
The glaze is waterbase or oil base
Do you have to use a glaze? Or can I glaze a piece with any paint?
How could I make the top of the table way darker?
You could add multiple layers of glaze. Or start with a darker base color!
What Krud Kutter preparation? TSP substitute?
TSP is for cleaning before painting, the Krud Kutter is to clean up the glaze and will remove it when necessary without harming the paint.
Did you use the damp cloth to wipe the glaze or the dry cloth you had?
The damp cloth works better to wipe (and "move") the glaze.
Didn't mention what a top coat is or a brand toward the end. Do you mean polyurethane?
I like polyacrylic. My favorite is General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in flat finish.
Will the Krud Kutter removed dried stain as well?
I don't think so. Can't say I've tried it, but I'm not sure it's strong enough for that
What brand and color glaze is that?
Why even deal with Krud Kutter, a rag wet with water will do the exact same thing if it's a water based glaze, which it should be
None of your products are available where I'm at. No glaze at all. I'm in the Philippines
What a bummer! Perhaps you can use a mix of water and paint to give a similar effect.
You should try dry brushing. More depth.
Yes, I really like dry brushing!
Well, call me crazy but I just don’t understand why it wasn’t just painted light gray lol,... especially or at least on the top. Otherwise, why bother washing the table in its entirety then use Krud kutter to make the main parts white again when you could just Kay the glaze right where you want it to be on the low spots and Voila!
Hi
So pretty, what base paint did yours????
Thank you! This is General Finishes Antique White as the base color.
@@RootsWingsHome milk paint right?
Is glaze & gel stain the same thing?
No, although some people use it the same way (which works in most cases). Gel stain is really meant to cover wood (finished or unfinished) and is oil based, which makes it harder to work with in this kind of application.
I'm not sure why creators insist on playing music that is as loud as their voice.👎
What kind of top coat do you put on?
I used General Finishes topcoat in flat on this table.
most of the time, I admire your videos. However, the color combination was a miss for me..The glazing added little value to the table because it was such a poor example of this technique.

@@RootsWingsHome oh I loved the color combo!!!
@@lolamarie244 I loved it too!! Beautiful!! 🙂
Sorry not impressed with water based glaze. Oil based looks better as does dark wax
That just ruined a beautiful piece of antique furniture
What other product is like crud cutter
I also use Denatured Alcohol (mixed with water) as a cleaner and degreaser!
Can the glaze be applied over chalk paint?
Yes, but I would recommend a top coat over the chalk paint before you glaze. If you don't the glaze will soak into the chalk paint and be a bit of a mess.
