It really does crackle!
I had doubts about a one-step crackle paint, but this stuff really delivers on its promise. A fairly thick coat is required to get a good crazed effect, so experiment a bit before using it on a project. Be aware, too-- this paint can be thinned with water and it still works just fine. My paint was *super* thick when it arrived-- as it, not even usable-- but once I mixed in some water and let it reconstitute, it was fabulous. I need more colors now...
