How to Fix a Paint Glaze Overlap

Remove the harsh glaze line, if the glaze is still wet, by wiping the glaze off the wall with a terry towel. Use the glazing tool you applied the glaze onto the wall with to thin out the edge of the glaze until it is so light it looks as if it has disappeared. Add the next section of glaze slightly over the light glaze area, and manipulate and blend the two sections together.

Apply a small amount of base coat to the glaze overlap line if the glaze is dry. Wait for the base coat to dry. Slightly add more and more glaze to the area. This method is very difficult and often does not work. However, it should be attempted.

Wait for the glaze to dry. Repaint the entire wall section the base coat color. Reglaze the wall and use the above techniques to avoid getting overlap lines. Some glaze manufacturers create a glaze extender, which is added to a glaze mixture and keeps the glaze wet longer.
