Old Masters Tinting Glaze

Old Masters Tinting Glaze is a tintable glaze or base for use in creating antique graining or faux finishes. It can be tinted with any universal colorants or oil-based paint.

As a wood stain, Tinting Glaze can be tinted with universal colorants or intermixed with solvent-based stains to create custom colors. Do not thin. Use as packed.

Covers approximately 500 square feet per gallon but will vary depending on use and condition of wood.

Finish Coat: We recommend Old Masters clear finishes. However, this stain can be topcoated with most clears. We do not recommend a lacquer-type finish coat over glazing applications.

Cleanup: Using a cleaning solvent, such as paint thinner or mineral spirits, is recommended for cleanup. The use of paint thinner or mineral spirits may violate VOC compliancy in your area.

Old Masters Tinting Glaze Technical Data Sheet

Where to Use
Tinting Glaze can be used to create antique, graining, or faux finishes. This product provides a wide choice of decorating effects when applied over satin or eggshell enameled surfaces, including furniture, trim, or walls.

Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dirt, wax, grease, glue, and other contaminants. Surface defects should be repaired with appropriate patching material.

Application
Stir well before use. For projects requiring more than one container, stir well and intermix both containers to avoid color variance.

Application on Bare Wood (used as a stain): Tinting Glaze can be tinted and used as an interior wiping stain. After tinting or intermixing, apply with a clean cloth or brush. Allow it to penetrate 2 to 3 minutes. Before the surface has dried, wipe off excess. Allow the surface to dry overnight and apply one or two coats of clear finish.

Application over Painted Surfaces (used as a glaze): Ensure painted basecoat is thoroughly dry. After tinting, apply the Tinting Glaze thinly over one section at a time using a clean cloth, sponge, or brush. Experiment with various methods of application to achieve the desired effect. To create an antique look, wipe off glaze lightly with a clean cloth, leaving a thin film on the surface and a heavier film in low spots and corners. If the glaze begins to set, add a little mineral spirits to the wiping cloth. For a faux finish, generously dab glaze with a sponge to simulate a marbleized effect. Realistic woodgrain patterns can be created by applying the glaze in conjunction with the Old Masters Wood Graining Tool. To enhance the beauty and wearing qualities, apply one or two coats of a clear finish. Do not top coat with lacquer.
