So this General Finishes glaze is one of those game-changers for furniture makeovers and woodworking projects. The Van Dyke Brown color gives you this beautiful, translucent finish that's perfect for creating that distressed, antique look everyone's after. It's water-based, which means easier cleanup and less smell than oil-based options. You can use it over wood stains or milk paints, and the cool part is you can mix different colors together to create your own custom shades. If you want deeper color, just layer it - the more coats, the richer it gets. They recommend using their Extender with it to give you more working time, which is super helpful if you're doing larger pieces. Perfect for shabby chic projects, color washing, rag rolling, or creating wood grain effects. Way easier than trying to achieve these looks with traditional painting methods. Just make sure whatever surface you're using it on is completely cured first for the best results.
