A. I teach with these products because they get better results than anything else I have tried and because these are the products I use on my jobs.  As I was originally trained in classic oil finishes, I've found these products to com the closest to providing the same effects.  I was surprised to find that you can actually do much more with the open wet time and special effects that are possible with these products.  They continue to amaze me after all these years.

A. No, you don't have to use them for most of the finishes however, your results will vary.  As other glazes may dry to fast compared to the Aquaglaze^tm and texture products vary greatly.  It's easier to use proven products and methods, but you don't have to .
