Such a good video! I'm going to be painting my coffee table and want to add a crackle finish. Would I apply the crackle glaze first then the chalky paint? Or the other way around? Also my coffee table has a sheen to it... do I need to sand it down? Or can I just go in and start painting? I should know this since I work for Lowe's in the paint department. However I've never done any distressing work like this so it's all very new to me :)

I hate the way it feels will the wax coat you apply take away the chalky feeling?

would be better to paint over things which paint are actually worn out.
