"Aged" picture frames
I have quite a few old picture frames in my garage and I would like to give them an aged look. The type of look I am after is where you see various layers of paint showing through at random areas (usually on corners and edges). Also looking at getting a crackle effect on a couple of the frames. I have seen youtube videos showing the use of both PVA and water soluble hide glue to get the crackle effect.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

I've done a few of these.
The frame on the one below was made from MDF door architraves.
Painted first with several coats of off white, then a dark green top coat sanded back mainly on edges/highspots.
I've done a few crackles as well using something called crackle glaze - I don't like it as much as the sanded back method.

Easy to get locally, and there is a video on that page showing how it is done.

This crackle finish looks quite good.
Is this product from Bunnings the same thing at the Titebond he is using in the video?
