I have recently done some wood finishing using Campells cut glazing.I was impressed with the darkening affect. Could this be product be used between coats on violins? Thanks for your response, Henry |

What is "Campell cut"? I tried looking it up on Google, and found nothing, even when I tried different spellings...
Is this a product one can buy? Or a process?
Ed Campbell teaches glazing, so I thought maybe there was some connection. |

Hi Chet,Thanks for your interest.This is a product they use at my son's kitchen company to glaze cabinet doors.It is made by M L Campbell and is called, cut glaze.It comes in various colors and I was impressed at the darkening affect it had.I thought I might use it on a violin but did'nt want to use it without some recommendations.
I also couldn't find it on the web. Thanks, Henry |

when glazing with oil paints cut with liquin, how long do you have to wait for the glaze to dry if you are using spirit varnish? It seems to me that oil paints take a long time to really dry, so if you varnish over with a spirit varnish it will crackle alot. Am I wrong on this? |

I could be wrong, but I suspect you would be asking for some crackle, no matter when you did it. It just defies the "Fat over Lean" principle. But perhaps you are right, and there is a way to do it and avoid the crackle. |

'Glazing' is normally an oil varnish process. I've seen instances of oil layers in spirit varnish with no immediate ill effects, but as Chet says, it seems like it's asking for trouble. |

i have glazed several times with liquin and oil paints and have never had a crackle problem. the trick is to make the glaze layer very thin then placing the instrument in a dry box or sun until it is completely dry. this can take up to a week or so. if it is dry, then there is no issue with the next layer of spirit varnish drying at a different rate, creating crackle. although, some makers really like the crackle look...... |
