The difference between glaze and wood oil
Both glaze and the wood oil are applied to protect your wood from moisture and external stresses. The main difference between glaze and wood oil is that the oil penetrates the wood so that the surface becomes moisture-repellent, whereas glaze forms a protective layer on the surface of the wood. Glazed surfaces do not need to be treated as often as oiled surfaces.
When should I not use glaze?
Glaze protects your wood from moisture by forming a protective layer. Glaze is suitable for most outdoor surfaces, but should not be applied to horizontal wooden surfaces where there is a risk of water accumulating. The protective layer of the glaze may flake off if water pools on it, which is why you should not use glaze wooden decks or seating surfaces, for example.
Frequently asked questions about glazing paint
How do I paint with glaze?
Start applying from the bottom, in the longitudinal direction of the plank and along its full length. Avoid overlapping of dried glaze. If glazing a previously glazed surface, the glaze colour becomes darker, as the new colour is added to the old one.
Do you I to sand before glazing?
If the material has already been painted, you need to remove old paint and lacquer before applying the glaze.
What is the difference between glaze and wood oil?
The main difference is that the glaze forms a protective layer on the outside of the wood, whereas wood oil penetrates the wood and makes the surface moisture-repellent.
