Ranger - Tim Holtz Distress Micro Glaze

Tim Holtz Distress Micro Glaze

Seal mixed-media layers with a waterproof finish that won't smudge inks

Distress inks and paints need protection that won't muddy their deliberately weathered effects. Micro Glaze seals these water-reactive mediums without reactivating or smearing the layers underneath, critical when you've spent time building up aged, layered surfaces. The formula dries to a waterproof finish that resists smudging while maintaining the matte, vintage aesthetic that defines Distress techniques.

Apply it directly over dried Distress Inks, Markers, Stains, and Paints on paper surfaces. The sealer works equally well over watercolor washes and inkjet prints, providing a protective barrier that prevents water damage during subsequent layering or handling. This versatility matters when combining multiple mediums in mixed media work where each element needs individual protection.

Tim Holtz designed this specifically for crafters working with his Distress product line, addressing the challenge of sealing reactive mediums without compromising their appearance. Use it on journal pages, cards, tags, and art journal spreads where durability matters but heavy gloss would destroy the carefully cultivated worn, distressed look. The water-resistant seal means finished pieces survive handling, storage, and even light moisture exposure without bleeding or transfer.
