How to Lightly Antique Furniture With a Glaze
- 1). Brush the wood stain onto a small area of the furniture using the foam brush. Work in small areas so you always maintain a “wet edge” with the stain. If there is any visible wood grain, brush with the grain. Otherwise, use a circular motion.
- 2). Rub the stain into the surface immediately with the clean rag and using a circular motion. The stain instantly changes the color of the surface and dries very quickly, so work fast, taking care to wipe away any visible marks made by the rag.
- 3). Continue applying and wiping the stain over the surface until the entire piece has been glazed. A single coat is typically sufficient, but if you desire a darker color of glaze, you can apply more coats.
- 4). Use the foam brush to apply a bit of stain into any carving or other details. Wipe away any excess stain with the rag.
- 5). Allow the piece of furniture to dry completely before use. It typically takes about 24 to 36 hours.
