    I have been trying to get a crackle finish on a project I am working on and have not been able to get it right. Your tip about how not to go over the top paint coat twice is where I think I have been going wrong. I am going to try it today, thanks!!!

    I haven't tried either of these techniques but did buy a paint that crackles when applied. It was a really cool effect for some bead board paneling that I did. Really gave it an old shabby look.

    I haven't used the crackle technique for years but I'm sure going to try your suggestions, now! You've tweaked my creativity and I'm off to do some Christmas presents with this idea. Wonderful lens.

    I'm going to try the crackle technique on a couple of built-ins that I'm updating in our home. This is great for smaller projects, and I love the look. Excellent lens... Squid Angel Blessed.
