A good tip if you can't find the 'faux' glaze (particularly with water-based or latex paint) is to use a thinned wall-paper 'paste' type adhesive, into which you blend the colour (color!) O.k, who's for faux marbling,rag-rolling or 'granitising'? The latter uses a sponging technique and can be achieved as described using black,mid grey and a very,very, (almost white) grey.Finish with thinned coats of satin-finish poly-varnish, A very fine sanding between coats gives a much better finish!
