FAQs

What is Annie Sloan Pearlescent Glaze?

It is a water-based glaze that adds a luminous, light-reflecting opalescent shimmer to surfaces, designed to enhance painted finishes, especially Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™.

Can I use this glaze over any paint?

It is specifically designed to work best over Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™. While it can be tested over other water-based paints, results may vary. It is not recommended for use over standard varnishes or gloss paints without proper preparation.

How do I create custom colors with the glaze?

You can mix a small amount of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ with the Pearlescent Glaze to create custom shimmering translucent shades. Experiment with small batches to achieve your desired effect.

Do I need to seal the glaze after application?

The glaze provides a durable finish on its own. However, for surfaces that receive heavy wear, such as tabletops or floors, applying Annie Sloan Lacquer or Wax over the dry glaze is recommended for added protection.

How do I clean my brushes after using the glaze?

Clean your brushes, rollers, or sponges immediately after use with warm water and soap.

What surfaces can I apply this glaze to?

It is suitable for furniture, walls, floors, and various decorative items. It is particularly effective at highlighting mouldings, carvings, and other detailed architectural features.

How many coats of glaze should I apply?

Typically, one or two thin coats are sufficient. Apply thinly and evenly for best results. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.

Troubleshooting

Glaze appears streaky or uneven

Ensure the glaze is applied in thin, even coats. Stir the product thoroughly before and during use. Work in manageable sections and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Ensure your base coat is fully dry.

Lack of shimmer or opalescence

The pearlescent effect is subtle and most pronounced over lighter base colors. Ensure adequate light is hitting the surface. For a stronger effect, consider a second thin coat, ensuring the first is dry.

Product feels too thick to apply

Stir the glaze well. If it still feels very thick, a very small amount of water can be added, but use sparingly as too much water can dilute the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a beautiful, subtle shimmer and depth to projects.
  • Durable finish that can eliminate the need for a topcoat.
  • Versatile for various surfaces and decorative elements.
  • Can be customized by mixing with Chalk Paint™.
  • Easy to apply and water-based for simple cleanup.

Cons

  • Opalescent effect is most noticeable over lighter base colors.
  • May not provide the same level of protection as a dedicated Lacquer on high-traffic surfaces.
  • Requires a properly prepared surface for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any old, flaking finishes. Stir the Pearlescent Glaze thoroughly before use. Apply thinly and evenly using a soft brush, lint-free cloth, or sponge. For best results, apply over a dry Chalk Paint™ finish.

Compatibility: This glaze is designed to be used primarily over Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™. It works best over lighter shades, but can be tested on darker colors for different effects. It can also be mixed with Chalk Paint™ to create custom translucent shimmering colors. It is generally not recommended for use over existing varnished or lacquered surfaces without proper preparation.

Care: Once dry, the Pearlescent Glaze forms a durable finish. For most applications, this finish is sufficient. However, for surfaces that experience very heavy wear, such as tabletops or floors, it is recommended to seal it with Annie Sloan Lacquer or Wax for added protection. Clean application tools immediately after use with water.
