Hi Renee,
How was it in North Florida during that cold snap? I told the wife we MUST move further south..lol
I think its a word, lol Crackles I usually have pretty good luck with when using the “good stuff” as I would rather spray it but I couldn’t in this situation, I can control it much easier with a sprayer other wise you just have to control it by how heavy you apply it. The heavier, the bigger the crack. You must be careful though because if you apply it too heavy then it could “curl” and pop off after it cures. I have some update pictures I am going to post today of the final finish these were just progress pics

I love the look of this piece. I know how hard it is to get crackle to do what you want instead of what it wants. I love the overall evenness of the crackle. Evenness is that a word? lolol

Hi Kerri,
Been a long time since we talked last, This is actually a new cabinet that was custom made, the owner loves trompe loeil and he says “do as you will” so I “dood” it, lol

Thanks Regina,
It was the AquaCrackle that I used over the usual sizing, some of it was a little larger than I wanted but it worked out after adding all the trompe loeil to it
