Hide glue is used by furniture makers and restorers. In this video I use a traditional hide glue method to make a crackle finish. It’s what movie set designers used in the early to mid twentieth century to get the look of old crackled paint on their old west sets.

There are many crackle medium alternatives to hide glue, and tutorials on how to use them. Try several and see how they differ.
