Open
Time Glaze - Data Sheet
DESCRIPTION:
ProFaux's OPEN-TIME Glaze is an acrylic flat-sheen multiple
effect decorative glaze coating with Superior working
time . Ideal for all general glazing effects such as positive
and negative sponging, Ragging, dragging, colorwashing,
and stippling. Used to enhance ProFaux texture products:
pro-Adobe, pro-Sandstone Roll-up, pro-sandstone Spatula
and Pro Toscana. Great for one-person glazing operations
on walls, ceilings, and molding surfaces where maximum
working time is essential. Tints with latex paint. Typical
glaze to latex paint ratios are 4:1 up to 6:1 for slower
drying, more translucent effects.
GENERAL: for maximum working
time, tint a latex primer/sealer close to the base coat
color and prime new and/or absorbent surfaces; White pigmented
shellac, for example BIN by Wm. Zinsser Company, is also
an excellent sealer. It too can be tinted. ON old paint,
remove loose paint, fill, sand and prime. On wood, metal
and concrete, use recommended sealer. Next, base coat
with a high-quality pearl, satin or semi-gloss sheen acrylic
latex paint. Allow to dry for at least 48 hours. (Yes,
that's two full days necessary to form a tight film).
MIXING: tint
with any latex paint, custom or premixed. Stir well with
a paint paddle or ProFaux mixer and a drill. The final
color achieved is an optical blend between the base coat
and the Open-Time Glaze color; the glaze color will usually
be the predominant color since it is applied last. Test
glaze colors on a sample board before proceeding, as the
glaze color in transparency may look quite different when
applied over the base coat. Before proceeding, as the
glaze color in transparency may look quite different when
applied over the base coat. When mixing recommended glaze/paint
ratios, Open-Time Glaze will lower the sheen level of
the paint by approximately one level. To raise the sheen
of Open-Time Glaze, simply tint with a higher sheen latex
paint. For example, to achieve a satin glaze, tint with
semi-gloss latex paint.
APPLICATION: May be applied
and mottled and mottled with varied tools such as brushes,
rollers, cotton rags, lightweight plastic and sponges.
Softens best with dampened sea wool sponges and/or dry
cotton rags. For wiping application of tinted glaze using

mixture and dispense directly onto sponge. Reload sponge
as necessary. Safety note: Clearly containers when Refilling
with other liquids. Coverage: 400-1000 sq. ft. per gallon.

to 1 part latex) 1 hour working time when tinted with
25% latex paint (i.e. 4 parts glaze: 1 parts latex)
