<p>[QUOTE="Peasnquiet, post: 1931051, member: 14662"]Glaze should go on after you have put one coat of protectant seal on it, and offers dimension / depth to the "nooks, crannies, lines, edges" of the dresser. Glaze will change the overall color of the piece (will tone it down), so perhaps if you try it, do a sample board first to make sure that you like it. General finishes makes nice glazes in several colors, but again, depends on your preference. I sent a few photos of blue dressers with darker glazes to give you an idea. </p><p>You would paint on the glaze to small sections at a time and then quickly wipe off the glaze with an old lint free rag. The glaze will remain in the low points of the dresser (lines) and will lightly color the flat areas (unless you make sure to wipe off completely). Once you are done glazing / drying, then top coat again (poly or similar). Glaze works similar to wax (it is not wax) but adds a little more overall color than wax and is not as matte. There are lots of "applying glaze" videos in addition to the one I posted above. There are lots of brands but I can only speak to GF (not a rep lol). Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
