Ragging is a faux painting technique that provides both warmth and texture to any room.
Step 3: Measure, mix and stir the glaze color. The glaze to be applied with a rag is made up of a latex semi-gloss, gloss or eggshell color. This is mixed with a latex glaze. The glaze is a clear carrier that you use to make the color more transparent and to allow you enough time to lay down the pattern. The mixing ratio is five parts of latex glaze to one part of eggshell latex paint. The glaze looks milky white, but it dries clear. Measure and pour the glaze into the mixing bucket first and then the paint. Stir the glaze thoroughly to blend the glaze and paint together. Mis together five parts latex glaze to one part latex paint.
