Hi,
I was interested trying a bit of glazin, not the glass type, on some
cabinet doors but I'm not sure on what products to use and where to
get them?
Mike

Almost anywhere paints are sold.

Quick search on the 'net of glazing or antiquing will produce directions and
sources.

Hi Mike,

Here's a link to a simple procedure for glazing:

For more detailed information check out Jeff Jewitt's book, "Great Wood
Finishes", at your local library. You can also check Jeff's web site
for supplies if needed and possibly more information on the process in
his "Forum" section, "Articles" section and through the "Search"
function. His site is:

Thanks. So can I use a stain as a glaze?

Yes, stain can be used as a glaze once the wood is sealed with a coating of
your choice. The seal coat can be shellac, poly, paint, etc. Glazing is
simply applying an additional thin coat of a different color or shade over
the base coat. Done properly the results can be amazing.

My wife's friend brought over a old dresser, in bad shape, that she wanted
me to repair. With close inspection I was "sure" the whole dresser was made
out of book matched cocobolo and didn't want to attempt the repair. She
insisted, say she was only going to paint the piece. After removing the
finish in the areas I needed to fix I realized the piece was mahogany but
glazed by a master.
