~ Be sure to allow each layer to fully dry before adding the next layer. I repeated the paint over stained wood process on a larger board also, and the effect was the same. I painted the stained board with white paint. To achieve the crackled paint look, you have to add another layer of paint over the crackle glaze, so I added a layer of white paint over the red, and a layer of red paint over the white. I applied a smooth coat of Valspar crackle glaze over each one. I stained the third board with Minwax, Early American Stain I painted one board red and one white with Chalky Paint.
I cut 3 pieces of pallet wood to use as my test boards.
I was not paid to review this product, and was not provided with any free product to write this review. Since I was impressed with Valspar’s chalky paint ( read my review here), I decided I would test and review Valspar Weathered Crackle Glaze and share my findings with you, along with some comparisons to other products that give a crackled paint finish. Chippy and crackled paint finishes are very popular right now – especially when the finish comes from natural age and wear, but sometimes you’ve just gotta fake it, if you want to make something that looks old.
