The first glaze we used was made by a craft paint company and was like pudding. It was FABULOUS but then the whole faux finishing thing took off and everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Behr is less expensive but still rated high by Consumer Reports. Ralph Lauren makes a nice glaze, too, but ... I'm on a tighter budget these days and don't want to spend that kind of fundage when the Behr brand is just as good... in m opinion. Hope this helps! Hi Tammy -

I mix the glaze as instructed...4-8 parts per 1 part. I still have difficulty with it drying quickly. Yes, only over top of eggshell or satin. Mixing the glaze with anything but flat. I've only used clear glaze from Lowes. I'm not happy with most store bought brands. Do you have any suggestions. I somehow make it work but this last job made me crazy. If properly stored, does glaze get old? And can you recommend a brand you like? Thanks for the e-mails!

I used a Woodsman sealer over a concrete painted kitchen floor, 2 coats, and after over 2 years, it is still holding up well.
