WATER-BASED GLAZES

Water-Based Glazes

Since the introduction of our line of fine water-based clears, many customers have asked when we would begin the production of glazes that are compatible with our clear coats for use in furniture construction and restoration. We studied this application for several years and found that one of the most troubling hurdles to overcome for water-based glazing compounds is maintaining a workable open time so that the medium can be manipulated by the finisher within a reasonable time frame. We continued to work on this problem and felt that we had a solid grasp on the open-time problem. Then came along Golden Artists Colors. Upon testing their pre-colored glazes, we determined that the creative staff at Golden had the problem of open time well under control. Rather then reinvent the wheel, we have decided to add the Golden Glazes to our growing line of water-based systems for use with all of our products. The Golden Artists Glazes are 100% compatible with all of our fine top coats and help to complete a unique package of concentrated dyes, sealers and finishes for all of your fine finishing needs. We are proud to offer the Golden products to our customers.

Originally formulated for fine arts applications, the Golden Glazes dovetail nicely into furniture applications. Golden Glazes are formulated from Golden acrylic colors and their clear glaze compound to create a thin, slower drying glaze application. The inherent transparent nature of the Golden colors allows the finisher to blend and move the glazes with ease, for a more accurate color transition, without bogging down due to the short working window commonly found in other water-based glazing compounds. Golden Glazes can be extended with either the Golden Retarder (#3580-8) or with our Target SA5 Retarder to help kick the open time of the glaze even further out for better handling on large projects.
