Golden Paintworks - Acrylic Glaze

• Extends working time
• Tint-able for a wide range of colors
• Supports decorative effects
• Use on interior surfaces, over water-based coatings
• Soap and water clean up

Stir thoroughly before use. Surfaces to be finished must be clean, dry and free of wax, grease, scaling paint and mildew. Work on walls and other surfaces base-painted with at least two coats of a high-quality acrylic architectural coating for maximum working time. Surface absorbency affects working time. Sealing the surface, ideally with a satin or semi-gloss base, allows for maximum working time. Low-sheen paints, such as flat house paint, will reduce the working time.

• Stir thoroughly immediately before use. Avoid a mechanical shaker, which can introduce air and cause foam.
• Working time is dependent on product mixture, technique and substrate.
• Designed to be intermixed with premium interior acrylic/latex paint (in any amount) or tint with zero-VOC waterborne dispersion colorants. Use a ratio of 4:1 glaze to interior paint. Using more glaze will increase translucency, less glaze will result in a more opaque effect. For tinting with dispersions use up to a 5:1 glaze to dispersion ratio. Start with a 3% addition of colorant and test.
• May be mixed in any proportion with Golden Paintworks Slow Dry Fluid Acrylics to adjust the pigment load and the overall transparency of the mixture.
• Do not mix with oil paint.
• Brush or cloth apply. May also be applied with other decorative tools, as well as spray or roller applied.
• Apply at room and surface temperatures between 50° F & 90° F.
• Work in an area small enough to complete a decorative technique before the glaze begins to set up. Work quickly from section to section to prevent lap marks.
• On large surfaces work in irregular shapes to disguise laps or panel to panel variations.
• Brushing too hard can cause the glaze to cloud or foam, avoid overworking.
• May be thinned with water if needed. Thinning more than 50% may compromise working time, stability and adhesion.
• Apply only to clean, dry, painted or primed surfaces.
• Allow a minimum of 12 hours drying time between coats.
• Allow up to four weeks for a full water-resistant cure.
• Seal with Golden Paintworks Clear Topcoats for maximum durability.
• Test your technique on a practice board before applying to walls.
• For interior use only.

• Air movement and exchange will assist in proper drying.
• Cold weather & high humidity will slow down cure time.
• When Acrylic Glaze is mixed with quality brand, water-based house paint, the ratio used impacts the dry time. Average: dries to the touch in 1-2 hours.
