My review of Kroma crackle paste

Here we go again with another test. This time it is on crackle paste made by Kroma. I bought this one because the other products that was available by Golden didn't have any directions on the container. Shame on you Golden this is the least you could do. Not the first time I have seen this on Golden's products either.

Anyhow the product spreads very well. I added on top of a painting I had done a while ago which I didn't really like. You have to apply it quite thick. It takes up to 3 days to dry depending on the temperature. After 2 days, it did dry and the cracks weren't that big but I applied some fluid medium on top and proceeded to add some layers of paint to see what it would look like. I wasn't really all that happy with the results so I kept on applying more colour. I still wasn't happy with the results so I let it dry and then added even more crackle this time even thicker than the last. It is now only the second day so further comments to follow.

Final version just waiting for resin finish

My final review of this product is that bang for your buck, it's expensive for the quantity that you get. I had to apply two coats of really thick applications to get a good thick crackle. This painting is 8x8 and I almost used 1/2 of a tube so this is not good for larger paintings. I will be testing the Golden version shortly.

End of a collection #Breweriana

 For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out.  update this batch which had lots
