Transparent Glaze Medium
Clear Glaze Medium is a matte transparent acrylic medium with several different uses. Use alone or in conjunction with Jo Sonja artists from Chroma and Background Colors. Apply as a light sealer before painting, staining or varnishing or as a barrier coat between coats. Mix with base color to seal during base coat. Use as a general painting medium for staining, glazing and other transparent effects.
Instructions :
• As a sealer or barrier coat, apply a medium coat of Clear Glaze Medium to the surface using a clean brush appropriate to the size of the surface.
• Apply undiluted as a light sealer to raw wood and all paint. For stripping or staining wood, seal with 1 coat of Clear Glaze Medium over raw wood to ensure even application of stain.
• Mix desired Jo Sonja Artists Chroma color with Clear Glazing Medium to create wood glazes or stains. Start with 3 parts Clear Glaze Medium and 1 part Retarder or color. The ratio is determined by the strength of the desired color. Apply paint and medium in the direction of the wood grain, wiping with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove excess. Allow to dry before repeating coats.
• Can be used as a general painting medium where a transparent color is desired. For glaze or floating color, load the brush with Clear Glaze Medium or the Clear Glaze Medium & Retarder mixture above. Mix on palette before side loading with color. Mix to soften color and apply to deepen values or enhance colors. Apply Clear Glaze Medium undiluted over all paint and before varnishing as a protective barrier coat. Applying Clear Glaze Medium to the design area will block the paint and make correction easier without disturbing the previous coat.
• A maximum of three coats can be applied within 24 hours.
• A hairdryer can be used to speed up drying of the surface. Approximate coverage: 1 ml = 188 cm² / 1 oz = 6 square feet
