I was about to leave this a one star review until i decided to go to you tube and watch a video about it.I wanted a product that i could apply over my painted surface of my projects allowing then for the crackle effect to take place. I tried this product (by following instructions) on 4-5 different items and all it did was leave a shiny surface gloss. No matter the thickness and the minimal brush strokes, this does NOT work as a crackle topper over a painted surface..not one crack! When i watced the youtube video, it showed this product being used as a sandwich medium. Example: paint your surface with choice background color, let dryapply the crackle with a sponge brush fairly liberally, don't overbrushlet dry approx 20-30 minutes until just a bit "sticky" then apply second coat of acrylic paint on top and let dry for a few hours...i tied it on a piece of card stock this morning...using brown acrylic paint, then crackle paintallowed it to almost dry, then applied painted shutters acrylic paint on top and the cracks have appeared now. The reason for a lower rating is because the directions don't tell you EXACTLY how to use it..if you follow what's written on the container, you'll have NO cracking but a VERY high gloss finish on your project....am going to look for a different crackle medium, this requires too much work, time and layering...
