Valspar Weathered Crackle Glaze

Valspar Weathered Crackle Glaze 3.2 5 13 13

NO cracking I am very disappointed. No cracks to be seen. I followed the directions exactly. Does it take more than 24 hours for it to crackle? There are no time frames at all in the directions on when you will see results. Sad that it didn't work. June 11, 2013

This Product Did Not Work!!! We were very excited to try this product on a dresser for our baby who is expected this fall. We read through the instructions carefully and more than once, and purchased all of the supplies and paint and followed the directions exactly when applying the product and paint. After two nights of several hours of work the end result looks awful and we are going to have to sand and re-do the whole dresser! The paint did not “crackle” like it said it should. I am very bummed about this because if it would have worked it would have helped make the dresser look exactly the way we would have wanted it to. Sadly I cannot recommend this product and I feel like it was a BIG waste of time and money. June 3, 2013

Terrible product..did not work I bought the valspar crackle medium to paint a dresser for my sons nursery. After following all the steps to a T and using all valspar products the project looked terrible. We did not get the crackle effect we wanted and the piece just looked unfinished. We ended up having to just paint the whole thing black to fix the dresser. Having to do all the extra work while pregnant was a huge hassle for me and I am not happy. We have bought valspar products for the rest of our projects in our house in the past but I think I may think twice about purchasing anymore from now on. May 26, 2013

Great Product I bought this product not sure if it was going to work based on all the reviews. BUT it said money back guaranteed so I got it and tested it out on a small piece of the mantel I was painting. It looked awesome! It is a bit expensive at about $17 but a little goes a long way. I didn't even put a dent in the bottle when I painted the top part of a 5ft mantel. It even started to crackle on the tape I used! It is very easy to use! Just be patient you start seeing it crackle within minutes but it's not done until fully dry. I read that you can get the same effect with white glue but I would have had to paint the piece in sections and it seemed like it would have been messier. This product was perfect and super easy!

I have a question Please advise I wish to use this product on an exterior surface but can find no directions on what paint to use or even if it can be used outdoors. The local Lowes sales rep thought it would work using water based exterior paint but wa unsure. April 13, 2013

Great, even crackling My husband and I normally do DIY Christmas gifts and this year, decided to do personalized plaques with our family's names on it. On the wood, we used the crackle glaze to give it a more unique finish. Everyone was impressed by the quality of the product and was curious about how we did it. Valspar's paint and glazes were the perfect solution to finishing some great Christmas gifts. Now we just have to figure out what to do with all the leftover supplies! February 13, 2013

WhatHappened I follow the directions on the bottle was a little confused with the variation in drying time from one paragraph to the other. The first stated that the crackle glaze should dry for 1 hour, the second paragraph stated 1 - 4 hours. I decided on 2 hours, and later discoved in the posts here that wasn't a bad idea. Nevertheless I have not experiened crackling. I used all Valspar paints and glaze. My base coat was satin and I let it dry over night. The top coat was flat. I really would like to have the crackle but this experience has been disappointing. I'm left wondering what happened??? Now I have to start over or find another texture that will work for me.

Crackle Glazed Cabinets I used Crackle Glaze on an island in my kitchen and a cabinet used to hold my baking supplies. I have never had a problem with the sliding unless I have tried to touch up an area that is wet. Then you are in for a bit of a mess. My advice is to work fast and use a thick coat. If you see a flaw wait till it dries for your touch up. I have gotten many compliments on the appearance of the items. January 14, 2013
