DecoArt discontinued the product last year and I have been on the hunt for a replacement.

It is a non-toxic, fast drying acrylic glazing solution. It&#8217;s primary use is to create fine faux finishes. It is a Canadian product and it can be purchased at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stockade.ca\">Stockade<\/a>. For those of you in the US, try <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paintersparadise.com\">Painter&#8217;s Paradise<\/a>. It only comes in an 8 oz bottle, however, which perhaps is too large. While at HOOT this summer, I found another product which Margot Clark uses with her mudding. It&#8217;s a Unique Glass Colors product called Medium and comes in a convenient 2 oz. bottle. You can order it on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.margotclark.com\">Margot&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Painting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have been following my technique over the years you know that I use a medium to make the light coloured paints the correct consistency for use with a filbert grainer.
