Greek term or phrase: υαλοποίηση

From the instructions for a wood preserver. I'm not sure this was written in Greek originally.

Μετά από 48 ώρες το ξύλο στο οποίο εφαρμόστηκε το προϊόν, προσαρμόζεται σε οποιοδήποτε τελείωμα: υαλοποίηση, εμποτισμό, βελατούρα, ζωγραφική, βερνίκι, κερί, ξυλόστοκο, βαφή.

What exactly does υαλοποίηση mean here?

Asker: Thank you. I think "glaze" is the best option. I'm not sure how it differs from βερνίκι.

I think the easiest way to express it is to put the material involved rather than the process, i.e. glass, varnish, wax etc, instead of glazing, varnishing, waxing etc

I agree with rokotas that "glaze" might be a better option
