What type of brush should I use to apply the glaze?

A high-quality brush with soft bristles is recommended for a smooth finish. Ensure the brush is compatible with solvent-based products.

What safety precautions should I take when using Fiddes Clear Glaze?

Work in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and eye protection. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Troubleshooting

The finish is not drying properly.

Ensure adequate ventilation and check the room temperature. Solvent-based products dry slower in cold or poorly ventilated conditions. Ensure the coats are thin.

The finish has imperfections, such as bubbles or brush marks.

Apply thinner coats and avoid over-brushing. Ensure the brush or pad is clean. Lightly sand between coats to remove imperfections.

The finish is sticky.

The finish may not be fully cured. Allow additional drying time. Ensure the product hasn't expired.

The finish is not as clear as expected.

Ensure the surface is completely clean and free of contaminants before application. Apply thin coats to prevent cloudiness. Stir the product well before use.
