The metal leaf if extremely thin and conforms to whatever surface it adheres to. This makes it really easy to emphasize the texture underneath by glazing over the top and letting the paint settle down into the cracks and wiping the excess off the top surface. Sorry for any confusion. Hope that helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975643397065262440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129860671065498434.post-22289550443153110552015-11-27T01:22:03.034-07:002015-11-27T01:22:03.034-07:00I'm sorry I'm really confused...do you put...I'm sorry I'm really confused...do you put the crackle glaze on first, then the size and finally the metal leaf?!
