MTCowpoke22 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Looks good. I've read about doing that, but never tried it myself. Good to know it actually works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Great job!! wood looks real distressed.....hard to do!! The crackle medium that you brush on always looks too fake!! Def gonna try the glue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Did you add the second coat when the glue is still wet??? immed after applying the wood glue?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially I put too much glue on....ended up scraping some off with putty knife.....wait til it gets “tacky”(not very long).....then put top coat on quickly only going in one direction......if it’s a large project, work in small sections Edited April 9, 2018 by smitty0312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new2woodwrk Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Ok so dumb question: Are the breaks actually raised like peeling paint or is it flat and smooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
