Great but not foolproof
4 Stars
Great but not foolproof
This crackle medium is really great but I will say there’s a bit of a learning curve to get it right. I used it to create a Venetian mask and — like other reviews stated — you MUST use a matte paint for it work; I chose chalk paint.When applying your top coat, you can’t go over a given area with more than one brush stroke — otherwise, you’ll smear the crackle. You have to quickly paint the area with a generous amount of paint and move on to the next area. To help with this, I decided to to do each part of the mask in small sections, which made things easier. Don’t worry about seeing brushstrokes in the paint — the medium will minimize them once it starts to crackle.If you want bigger cracks, paint your top coat in larger strokes, and for smaller cracks, do small strokes. The direction you paint the top coat in matters, too, as the cracks will appear in the direction you paint. For these fine, horizontal cracks, I painted very small strokes in a horizontal direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKED GREAT!
Reviewed in Canada on July 8, 2022
So, I tried the DIY stuff first on the "inside" of the pantry door where it wasn't going to matter as much. I tried the "glue" method first...don't bother, doesn't work. Then I tried the "hair spray" method, and it wasn't much better. I finally broke down and bought this crackle paint medium, and the results were magnificent! But, it only worked really well on the side that was "untouched by the diy methods". The inside where I had experimented worked ok but not nearly as good. So if you're trying to fix your own diy attempts, I would recommend removing all the other tries first.
