glazing
The process of producing a bright, glossy, or
glasslike finish on leather, paper, board, marbled
or decorated papers, etc. Paper glazing may be
done by means of calendering, or by applying wax
over the surface of the paper and then passing
heated iron over it. Leather is glazed, on the
grain side, by subjecting it to the action of a
non-rotating solid glass (or agate or other
suitable material) cylinder drawn across the grain
under very high pressure. (17 , 335 )
