Good answer Alan. I wasn't aware of the historical facts regarding either.

Geary the primary difference is that glazing is done with transparent colors and scumbling is using paint with white added. Scumbling doesn't darken the way glazing does. You can scumble on any type of paint and that is what Ken Davies is referring to, scumbling the application and not scumbling the technique.
