Third...the base coat is crutial, you need something that wont absorb the glaze to quick..I use masonry paint as a base colour..it isnt as absorbent as matt emulsion and it wont cause the glaze to skid when your applying it.
And oil based undercoat is good too...but id suggest giving it a few days to cure off a bit first...
I had a lad using polyvine based glaze with vinyl matt as the colour on a door with oil based eggshell on it (given a light keying first)...the eggshell gave him plenty of time to create the effect he was after (bagging)
Polyvine tropical is good...
For application I use a medium pile roller sleeve..its big enough to get a fair amount on quickly and you get a nice effect...criscrossing it in different directions.
