Question: From Sally S., Santa Fe, NM
I am doing a color wash on a couple of walls in my master bedroom. My problem is that it seems that the color wash glaze is drying so fast that I am getting lines as I move from one section of the wall to the other. Is there any thing I can do to keep my glaze from drying too fast?

Yes, there is something that you can do to not get over lap or dry lines.
1. The right base paint use satin or semi- gloss sheen paint. (We use set coat (Faux effects) or bondage (Blue Pearl) these are paints made for glazing)
2. The faux products. We use a few different glazes
A. 3 parts faux cream to 1 part so slow and ½ part colorant.
B. 3 parts Wet Edge (adicolor) to 1 part extender and paint.
C. 3 parts Perfetto Glaze mixed with ½ faux colorants or universal tints extended further with the addition of Perfetto Wetting Agent if needed.
Hint: you can wet the wall first with water in a spray bottle then apply your glaze.
3. Application start in the corner next to the door and roll your glaze on the wall in organic spaces with a dry chip brush push the glaze into the edges the take your cheese cloth and smear the glaze in circles and then with another piece of cheese cloth blend and softer the area with a nock nock technique, lighten the edges you should barely see any glaze, than apply more glaze and blend edges first then repeat until your room or wall is perfect.
