- Oil-based
glazing liquid
- Brush
- Roller
and paint tray
- 3"

Glaze
Recipe
- 2
parts oil paint
- 2
parts oil-based glazing liquid
- 1
part paint thinner, 1 part Kerosin
Step
By Step Instructions
1. BASE COAT: Apply two coats of the base
colour and let dry 2 to 3 hours for water
base, overnight for oil. (Oil or water-based
can be used)
2. Mix the coloured glaze, and apply it
to the wall in sections the size of the
craft paper, if your using plastic sheeting
you can actually to a whole wall at a time.
3. Immediately lay a sheet of craft paper
over the wet glaze, and smooth it out with
your hands. Then remove the paper. The sheets
of craft paper can be re-used several times
but be careful they don't get to saturated
or you will start getting different effects,
because it has a tendentic to remove more
glaze when you start. That's what is nice
about the plastic.
4. Roll more coloured glaze onto the next
section, overlapping the glaze onto the
edges of the previously glazed area, and
repeat step 3.
5. Without stopping, repeat steps 3 and
4 until 100% of the wall is covered. If
your using plastic you can get the cheap
.04 mill stuff get a helper and cover the
whole wall at once and work it.
6. Optional: once the paint is dry, apply
a coat of semi-gloss clear coat to add to
the richness of this effect.
