Product Description: Mohawk Heavy Bodied Glazing Stains have a new improved formula with the texture of cream for better control and easier distribution of the glaze finish without dripping or running. Heavy Bodied Glazing Stains are manufactured from the finest refined non-break Linseed Oil and micronized pigment colors. All colors can be intermixed to achieve additional shades. Colors are very concentrated and can be let down only with Mohawk Heavy Bodied Clear Glaze if a weaker glaze is needed. Heavy Bodied Clear Glaze can be tinted with Base Concentrate Colors. Advantages: Glazes are excellent for special effects: 1. Highlights 2. Grain (faux finishes) 3. Color contrast 4. Antiquing 5. Frosting 6. Splatter or distressed appearance. 7. Marbleized texture. 8. Metallic effects by adding small amounts of bronzing powders.
Product Limitations: Rags or other materials containing this product may oxidize and ignite. All contaminated materials should be immersed in water immediately to avoid spontaneous combustion. Specifications: Mohawk’s Heavy Bodied Glaze can be applied by rag, brush, pad and spray. It can be used to highlight or to blend in areas. Several coats may be used for antiquing, graining and marbling. This Glazing Stain has good open time and can be recoated within 1-2 hours. Glaze may be applied over enameled surfaces to achieve appearance of any antique base color. Colors can contrast or harmonize depending on the effect desired. Clear Glazing Stain is used to reduce the intensity of the colored Glazing Stains to whatever level is necessary.
Directions: On a sealed surface, apply coat of glazing stain with glazing brush, painting one side at a time. Long even strokes with the grain produce the best results. For highlighting, allow Glazing Stain to set a short period, then lightly wipe areas using cheesecloth. If required for effect, wipe other areas more heavily to remove some of the applied glaze.

Use a dry brush to work sculptured areas. If glaze becomes too tacky, a mist coat of Mineral Spirits M650-230 or a rag dampened with mineral spirits will assist in application and yield the desired effect. Steel wool method: an alternate method to achieve random grain appearance is by using 3/0 steel wool. Work with the grain using long pendulum type strokes in a sweeping motion. Work strokes into one another until wood grain or desired novelty effect is achieved. (Make a test panel first to evaluate results.)
Setting glaze with lacquer: 1. Allow surface to dry 1 hour. 2. Apply mist coat of nitrocellulose lacquer. This will set the glaze. 3. Respray with heavier passes, allowing time for solvent to flash off between passes. Allow lacquer to dry thoroughly before completing finishing. 4. Apply finish coats to achieve desired appearance.
Note: Glaze must be top-coated within 6 hours of application to assure lifting will not occur.
