FAQs
Can I use Tsukineko Stazon Studio Glaze on fabric?
This glaze is not intended for use on fabric. It is designed for hard, non-porous surfaces like glass, metal, and plastic.
Is the glaze dishwasher safe?
No, Tsukineko Stazon Studio Glaze is not dishwasher safe. Handwashing is recommended for items decorated with this glaze, and care should be taken to avoid prolonged water exposure.
How long does it take to dry completely?
Drying time varies depending on application thickness and environmental conditions. Thin applications may dry in under an hour, while thicker coats can take several hours. Light heat setting can reduce this time.
Can I mix the colors?
Yes, the glazes can be mixed to create custom colors. Allow each layer to become touch-dry before applying subsequent layers.
What is the shelf life of the glaze?
When stored properly at room temperature and away from direct light, the glaze should maintain its quality for a significant period. Always shake vigorously before use, as separation can occur over time.
Can I use this glaze on items that will be outdoors?
It is not recommended for items that will be exposed to extended outdoor conditions or significant water. The glaze is best suited for decorative indoor applications.
What is the difference between Stazon Studio Glaze and regular Stazon ink pads?
Stazon Studio Glaze is a liquid glaze designed to create a raised, stained-glass effect on non-porous surfaces, while Stazon ink pads are solvent-based inks for stamping on various surfaces, resulting in a flatter print.
Troubleshooting
Glaze appears separated or streaky upon application.
Shake the bottle much more vigorously before use. Ensure the product has been stored correctly at room temperature.
Glaze is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and completely dry before application. Avoid touching the surface after cleaning and before glazing.
Nozzle is clogged.
Carefully clean the nozzle with a solvent like isopropyl alcohol or StazOn Cleaner. Ensure the cap is replaced immediately after use in the future.
Drying time is too long.
Apply thinner coats of glaze. You can also lightly use a heat gun from a distance to speed up the drying process, but avoid overheating the surface.
