This jar of Gold Chroma Glaze is designed by Brutus Monroe. This glaze is a gel-based medium. This is a medium consistency gel that works well on most surfaces. This glaze is semi-opaque and works beautifully on both acetate and paper; on the acetate, it looks more like stained glass. This is a transparent glaze that can be spread with a palette knife. This glaze works well with stencils, just spread lightly so the excess does not bubble up under the stencil. It does take some time to dry, so be patient. If you need to, you can also dry it for a bit with a heat tool (sold separately), being careful not to hold the heat too long in one spot or it will bubble. This glaze can be used for cards, scrapbook pages, tags, journals, planners, and other paper crafting and mixed media projects.
