I’m currently test this out. Here’s a tip I want to pass along. You MUST use flat paint on the top layer. I had some leftover semi-gloss paint I was using as a test……BARELY cracked. Do-over with flat paint….appears to be working great. (used a hairdryer to speed up the process)

Also, painting the glue on in a “X” like motion, fairly thick seems to work the best.

I read somewhere you need the original formula that says glue-all , I think, or wood glue. I’m about to try it with wood glue.

In reply to elba. hi Elba! most paint should work, I used CeCe Caldwell because it's awesome and easy:) If you have a specific paint you want to try, I would do a test on a scrap piece of wood first.
