For weathered crackle, what does “overwork” the glaze or paint mean?
Overwork basically means over brushing or over rolling. Once the weathered crackle glaze is on the surface, do not go back over it. If you do keep working the glaze, there is a chance that the process will not work and the glaze will not crack. The same holds true for the topcoat of Flat Paint. Apply the paint in one direction and leave it alone, do not keep brushing or rolling to smooth it out. Remember, it will crack anyway, so it doesn’t need to be perfectly applied.
