{"product_id":"rosco-clear-acrylic-glaze","title":"Rosco Clear Acrylic Glaze","description":"\u003cp\u003eRosco Clear Acrylic Glazes are versatile acrylic mediums that can be used to protect painted finishes, provide additional strength and adhesion to scenic paints or to create transparent glazes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed as a topcoat, Clear Flat and Gloss provide a durable finish to protect your painted scenery from incidental abuse. Used on a stage floor, clear acrylic Glazes protect a paint treatment from basic wear and tear, as well as providing the desired finish; flat, gloss or a mixture of the two giving the scenic artist complete control over the depth of the finished paint treatment. Clear Acrylic does not provide the same protection as a urethane finish. If you need a hard protective finish to protect against moving scenery and excessive abuses, use Clear ColorCoat or Premiere Clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdded to paint, Rosco Clear Acrylic Glazes will increase the adhesion and flexibility of the mixture. Rosco Clear Acrylic Glazes are compatible with all Rosco Scenic Paints, and many other water based or latex paint formulations. (Always test for compatibility with an untried combination.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e When using a paint with weaker binder strength, such as a casein or tempera paint, adding 1-2 cups of Clear Acrylic Glaze (flat or gloss based on the desired finish) will improve both the adhesion of these paints, as well as making the finish more resistant to scratches and burnishing. Adding Clear Acrylic Glaze to Iddings Deep Colors will make the paint finish more water resistant as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat\/Matte or Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolvent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinder Type\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDilution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always dilute at least 1:1 with water.

If applying over a painted finish, always test before hand for compatibility and adhesion. Allow paint treatment to dry 24 hours before top coating with Clear Acrylic Glazes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stir contents well before each use. Apply by brush, roller, or spray gun. Apply in thin, uniform coats, using a good quality brush or roller. Use overlapping strokes, keeping a wet edge. Change roller direction often to avoid patterns and streaking. Do not apply a heavy coat. To build up a more durable finish, apply several thin coats, allowing each to dry thoroughly between applications. Failure to do so may cause the finish to cloud over while drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen treating a back drop, use a hudson sprayer to apply a uniform, thin coating so the painted muslin will remain flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pro Glo Paints","offers":[{"title":"Gloss","offer_id":47862141223077,"sku":"5580","price":88.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Flat","offer_id":47862141255845,"sku":"5581","price":88.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0410\/6184\/3109\/files\/Rosco_Clear_Acrylic_Group_1.jpg?v=1779999830","url":"https:\/\/www.torontopaintstore.com\/products\/rosco-clear-acrylic-glaze","provider":"Pro Glo Paints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
