Note: Truth be told, we ended up only doing the glaze coat on the top of the tray. It dripped down the sides (which we smoothed with a drywall knife as it was drying) and under the bottom of the tray. I sanded the bottom of the tray down after it was COMPLETELY dry to try and smooth out some of the uneven glaze that snuck under, and then sealed the sides + bottom with a polyurethane. I would have used more glaze coat for the bottom, but didnât want to risk it seeping onto the top of the tray and ruining the super smooth finish.
Be sure and follow all of the directions for the glaze â itâs a little bit tricky to work with at first!

Yes, we mixed our glaze in a (clean!) flower pot. Brandon told me not to show our crappy âequipmentâ butâŚjust keepinâ it real, guys. This is what we used. đ
Let it dry, dry, dry!! I probably let the glaze coat sit untouched for two days before I really handled the tray. Might have been overkill, but I didnât want to put fingerprints on it.
