Compatibility:
When using a paint with weaker binder strength, such as a casein or tempera paint, adding 1-2 cups of Clear Acrylic Glaze (flat or gloss based on the desired finish) will improve both the adhesion of these paints, as well as making the finish more resistant to scratches and burnishing. Adding Clear Acrylic Glaze to Iddings Deep Colors will make the paint finish more water resistant as well.
Finish: Flat/Matte or Gloss
Solvent: Water
Binder Type Vinyl acrylic
Application
Application
Dilution: Always dilute at least 1:1 with water. Failure to dilute Rosco Glazes may caused the medium to cloud over as it dries.
Surface Preparation: Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dirt and grease. If applying over a painted finish, always test before hand for compatibility and adhesion. Allow paint treatment to dry 24 hours before top coating with Clear Acrylic Glazes.
Application: Stir contents well before each use. Apply by brush, roller, or spray gun. Apply in thin, uniform coats, using a good quality brush or roller. Use overlapping strokes, keeping a wet edge. Change roller direction often to avoid patterns and streaking. Do not apply a heavy coat. To build up a more durable finish, apply several thin coats, allowing each to dry thoroughly between applications. Failure to do so may cause the finish to cloud over while drying.
When treating a back drop, use a hudson sprayer to apply a uniform, thin coating so the painted muslin will remain flexible.
Film Thickness: 1:1 Dilution=1 mil. Dry Film
Coverage: 1:1 Dilution= approximately 600 sq. ft. per gallon (56 sq. m. per 3.79L), depending on substrate, application tool and film thickness.
Dry Time: At 75°F (24°C.) Dries to the touch in approximately 30-45 minutes. Can be re-coated in 1-2 hours. Clear Acrylic Glaze has a milky appearance when wet but will dry clear. DO NOT USE HEAT OR FORCED AIR TO ACCELERATE DRY TIME AS CLOUDING MAY OCCUR.
Clean-Up: Soap and water.
