Polyvine Glazes |
 Gragg’s Paint represents Polyvine
Glazes,
including Polyvine Scumble and Contractor Glazes. Polyvine's history
of innovation in the decorative paint industry has enabled us to
formulate the only acrylic glazes with the same open time as traditional
oils.
 Scumble (with graphic from link?) Acrylic Scumble is a clear
water-based transparent glaze for Decorative Effects. When colored
with Polyvine colorizers produces a transparent colored glaze.
The wet glaze is applied over painted surfaces and patterned with
a tool to produce a wide range of attractive patterns and shades.
The colored glaze dries to a durable water-resistant finish which
does not age or yellow. Acrylic Scumble is unique in providing
up to one hour working time.
 Contractor Glaze A transparent glaze to mix with emulsion / latex
paint. Produce your finished effects on a test board coated with
your chosen basecolour before application. Try the effects with
different colours. The Contractor Glaze has a long open time, yet
dries flat, and retains the color of the paint – Its perfect
for Large Jobs. We at Gragg’s love the unique packaging for
this product – a 5 quart pail, filled with 4 quarts of Glaze
with room to add up to one quart of latex paint to color the glaze! |
Symphony Tools |
 When
it comes to faux finishing, Gragg’s Paint knows the value
of selecting the proper tools for your project and quite simply, Symphony
Tools are the Best! Symphony has been making fine decorating
tools since 1949. Since then, Symphony has well established itself
as the leading manufacturer of special effect tools.
