    Can I use this over spray painted metal mirror frame? I spray painted a brass color, hoping this gives me more of a weathered antique brass look.

    Answer This Question

    This is a great question! Yes, Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations Decorative Glaze can be applied over the previously spray-coated metal mirror frame. We would recommend applying to a small section to ensure the favorable results are achieved. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

      Can this be used after letting minwax color wash is dry? Or after whitewash varathane? I’d like to whitewash a piece first and then put it on. Should I make my own whitewash with paint? I do have real wood so I don’t want to make the grain.

      Answer This Question

      Katie, thank you for your interest! While Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations Decorative Glaze can be applied over Rust-Oleum Varathane Whitewash Wood Stain, it may be difficult to see the outcome, as both products are to enhance the wooden surface. We would recommend a small test area to ensure the favorable result can be achieved. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

        A follow up to my earlier Q - I have to buy the Decorative Glaze (Java) & Krud Kutter separately & bonder is included in the transformation kit, is there a specific kit I should buy? Are these all the items I needed to complete the job?

          Hi again, following up, to reiterate, I have to purchase the Decorative Glaze (Java) & Krud Kutter separately. I also need to purchase a kit, is there a specific kit I should buy?

            Happy to clear things up, Sally! While Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations Decorative Glaze is sold as a standalone item, the Bond Coat in the Transformations Kit is not sold as a standalone item. If looking for the cleaner, Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter Original Cleaner and Degreaser is sold in a spray bottle. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Krud-Kutter-1-Quart-Liquid-Cleaner-and-Degreaser-for-Grease-on-Multisurfaces-KK326/203396788 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

              How long does it take to dry?
              ByJan 24, 2025

              Answer This Question

              Great question! Rust-Oleum Transformation Decorative Glaze will dry 8 hours after applying. If temperatures drop below 50°F, this will hinder the glaze from drying. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

                Can I use Polyvine wax finish varnish over the glaze instead of poly? The varnish is soap and water clean up.

                Answer This Question

                Thank you for reaching out, Shelly. While our Rust-Oleum Transformations Decorative Glaze can have a protective top coat applied to it, it has not been tested for use with other brands. We recommend first applying a small test application to ensure the results are as desired. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

                  The Java is just too dark even when I wipe immediately. Is it possible too water it down? Or put it over a coat of polyacrylic to lighten?

                  Thank you for reaching out, Carol. Rust-Oleum Transformations Decorative Glaze can be applied to previously finished surfaces. The glaze can not be thinned as this can hinder the performance of the glaze. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

                    Used this to create a sea drift (Faux wood) texture on a dining table. Using a khaki color as a base & then this glaze was brushed on as a 2nd coat. I achieved great results & didn’t have to spend thousands on a new table.

                      I love the product but was disappointed at the delay with shipping. It arrived weeks later than the original date when I ordered. It was packaged better than any item I’ve probably received. Tight styrofoam packaging around the cans and yet when we got the Styrofoam off, all four cans have big dents in them which suggests they were dented before packaging.

                        Just purchased my second can. Great look for many projects. Give a natural wood look when painted over white.

                        Worked great
                        I followed a YouTube tutorial to change my mantle from an orange color to a wood stained look using this glaze. It was so easy and came out great!

                          I used this on my kitchen cabinet doors.
                          This was so easy to use and we love how it turned out on our kitchen cabinet door’s. If I wasn’t happy with the way one turned out I was able to wipe it down and start over before it dried. This is a wonderful product and I definitely would recommend.
