Your favorite place in the house is now beginning to show the ravages of age and your kitchen cabinets, the plainest part of the kitchen, sport a patina of dust and dirt making them look grubby and tacky. The best way to revive good looks to your kitchen is to do something with your cabinets. New cupboards are out of the question because in these difficult commercial times, the expense is unaffordable. One answer is to refinish or reface your cupboards.
Glazing is a process of providing your cabinets with an antique look. This works particularly well if your kitchen and furniture have a period or an antique look. Too often do we see kitchens shining in glass and chrome having a cold and aseptic look.
Glaze can be added to almost any surface, whether it has been painted or stained or varnished. It may also be used to focus on embellishment or details of fine handiwork.
The particular process of glazing is very similar to painting and reparations are matching. If you are making a mistake, quickly clean up the area with thinner or solvent before the glaze starts to dry and start again.
Put down a drop cloth and create a clean surface on which to work. Using a top quality natural bristle brush, apply the topping liberally to the surface ensuring that it penetrates the grain. If you are making a mistake, quickly clean up the area with thinner or solvent before the glaze starts to dry and start again.
While glazing remember that you aren't looking for perfectly uniformity, and that a touch uneven coloring will simulate natural aging better than a perfectly uniform coat. - 32406
