What's the Difference between Furniture Wax and Glaze?

Join Jennylyn as she shares with you the main difference between furniture wax and glaze!
Fusion's furniture wax is a great finishing wax to add a little bit of lustre, or to accent details. It is not removable by water, only by mineral spirits.
Fusion Glaze comes in two colors: clear and antiquing. Clear is perfect for mixing with Fusion paint to create any color you want; Antiquing is the perfect aged brown. Glaze is a waterb

[@jojo-tl5ei]

Please keep the videos coming...just discovered Fusion and absolutely love it.

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Will do!!

[@draganajevtovic8002]

Than you for this clear and great explanation!

[@RinaMeyers]

Thank you for this video!

[@simonleaf2765]

I like the glaze look the best. Thanks for sharing.

[@sebastianlujan8872]

what a great teacher!!!!

[@reneesnook2730]

Would love to try Fusion on some projects I've been dying to work on!

[@wewemcrhyne]

Yes! This is exactly what I needed to know

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Thank you!

[@kimberlydeprey]

Very good explanation thank you!

[@universuliubirii7934]

Thank you ! Love you ! ❤

[@britzel71]

I truly appreciate these videos. It's difficult being new knowing what products I need or am interested in. These videos are so helpful and more informative than just seeing someone do a project with them as their focus isn't necessarily to showcase that products functionality.

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Glad you like them!

[@sheilalile1244]

Is the wax suitable for use on old stripped pine internal doors? Love using Fusion paint by the way!

[@doreencremer]

HELLO I just love your paint, rich and beautiful volour pigment But so dear/ expensive. Thanks for the glaze information.

[@alegradance]

its amazing you still do not have a video that shows each furniture wax color separately with examples of each.

[@FusionMineralPaints]

We definitely do! Let me find it and send you the link. Also here is link where you can see all teh waxes, over different colours. fusionmineralpaint.com/products/finish/furniture-wax/

[@BELLA-lt2ws]

Thank you Jennylyn! can we share our pictures from using your videos?

[@wendyfalk2793]

I Love to know you are the creator!! Thank you for educating us ;) (Go small business entrepreneurs!)

[@susanmandreger8577]

You mentioned using the clear wax to remove some of the dark wax, if necessary. Do you also recommend putting on a coat of clear wax before the dark wax, for greater control?

[@anaalvarez388]

Excellent!

[@PoliticalJunky101]

I absolutely love this ! That glaze is gorgeous.

[@JB-lr1tf]

Should i use the glaze or wax over metalic silver to add depth?

[@bridgetcassario1994]

Thank you for offering tutorials. Always very informative ❤️I have a French Baroque 50 year old bedroom set that I am still using. It was originally white and gold. However over the years the white has yellowed . I really don’t want to paint the set ,( lots of pcs. ) Is there a glaze or a wax that I could use to tone down the yellow? I do want to preserve the gold on the pcs. Thanking you in advance for your attention to my request !

[@monalisahota]

How long does each of them last? Or are they both permanent?

[@tarheelfans98]

Nice. Thank you for showing this. So I like the darker result in the detail from the glaze. But, Would I still be able to get the glaze mostly off of the flatter area? To get a more stark contrast with the white? Thank you.

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Yes you can! Just wipe back more or for a cleaner look use a very slightly dampened rag

[@jafallica]

Please show overhead shots more.

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Yes absoutely!! We are working on that for all new videos!

[@SendInYourSkeletons123]

Love these videos but I totally agree, better camera work would be so helpful.

[@billking1463]

One small thing I noticed at the start of the of the video. You reference glaze to giving a faux finish and then say whereas the glaze gives it more color. Based on where you were pointing it seemed like the more color was connected to the wax, not the glaze. Good info and example of the finishes

[@hildaflores8252]

That’s where I got confused too

[@imissnickplur4964]

yes, she definitely did that. since this is a company marketing video, you'd think that someone would have caught that mistake.

[@lauraforconi9111]

You are easy to follow

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Many thanks!!

[@thavylor]

Thank you

[@rosiesalinas9375]

Can you glaze a piece of furniture that has been waxed

[@lauraforconi9111]

Can mix gold with glaze, you do amazing work!!!!! Thank you

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Yes absolutely, as long as it is waterbased you can!

[@kimberlylucas3310]

Thanks for the video, do we need to add a clearcoat protect over the wax as well? You didn’t say. And you have to wait how long before you do that . Also I’m painting over and old pine secretary desk that has definitely got a clear coat on it of some kind, I don’t need to sand that off do I?

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Nothing goes over wax, was is always last :) and Prep is always a good idea for painting something that's been previously coated.

[@Alexkpz888]

@@FusionMineralPaints so on top of glaze we can use any water based top coat, correct?

[@FusionMineralPaints]

@@Alexkpz888 Yes you can. Our clear tough coat works wonders~!

[@Deariedo]

I just gloss sprayed some kitchen stools coral. They look too pink. Can I use either the glaze or the wax on the gloss finish?

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Hi, you can use the glaze or wax over, the glaze may be better in this instance.

[@milab1917]

Hello and thank you for this video! In order to use the glaze, does it have to be mixed with your Fusion mineral paint, or can any water-based paint be used to achieve the desired color? Thank you!

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Fusion glaze is used over top of dry Fusion Mineral Paint.

[@milab1917]

@@FusionMineralPaints thank you; if we have our furniture painted with any other paint (from Sherwin-Williams, for example), will your glaze work on it? And, to achieve the color of the glaze that we want, does it have to be mixed with Fusion mineral paint, or can any other water-bases paint be used to tint the glaze the color that we need? Thank you!

[@Towtow-cl4ex]

I painted chairs with linen chalk paint, can I add the glaze right over it? then add the clear tough coat?

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Yes! all our water based products are designed to be layered over each other without any issues.

[@karentucker7958]

Did you have to use a poly between chalk paint and wax or glaze?

[@FusionMineralPaints]

You should use something yes because chalk paint is so porous it soaks up all the pigment.

[@girlbert]

Is there a chance the wax could transfer after? Onto light clothing, like.

[@FusionMineralPaints]

IT shouldn't once it is cured, but if it heats up and reactivates potentially.

[@FusionMineralPaints]

remember to only apply a very very thin amount as well :)

[@kouavang9046]

Can I glaze right over top of stained wood with no top coat?

[@FusionMineralPaints]

YES :)

[@MrCabimero]

My cabinets are 25 years old and in great shape. But, the original white glaze that was on them is gone except in the grooves. If I want to reglaze the flat areas, do I have to prep the surfaces and how? Thanks.

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Most likely you won't need to do anything, other than a quick clean with our TSP alternative, you just want to make sure there's no grease or grime or wax on there, then go ahead and glaze :)

[@MrCabimero]

@@FusionMineralPaints Thanks for the prompt reply. I am guessing that the cabinets have a clear varnish or poly over them, so still no problem?

[@FusionMineralPaints]

@@MrCabimero it shouldn't be a problem for the glaze, as long as the surface is clear. You could however try out HTTPS://FUSIONMINERALPAINT.COM/PRODUCTS/FINISH/STAIN-FINISHING-OIL/ as a glaze hack- this will adhere to old oil and more, and is really easy to use and super durable afterwards. I have a youtube video on this here facebook.com/watch/?v=1006329103471754

[@MrCabimero]

@@FusionMineralPaints You are so kind. Thanks so very much. Happy New Year!

I need to know what color is on the video pic ?

Champness :)

[@MegaReg22]

Can you reglaze over an unhappy glaze?

[@1389silvia]

I want to know also

[@dianecimino4488]

What finish under glaze, wax??

[@FusionMineralPaints]

You can't apply anything over wax, I would just put the glaze on top of the paint. Then top coat with Tough Coat afterwards.

[@tracyhiggan1583]

Can you use clear wax over a stain

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Yes you could! Wax is always last :)

[@fineartlifestyling]

Suggestion to make your life easier when trying to get a subtle wax just mix the dark wax with the clear wax ahead of time and it’ll give you a pale grey wax finish.

[@FusionMineralPaints]

Absolutely y!! Blend away with the waxes and custom mix them!
