[Jukebox-list] Wrinkle paint

[Graeme Harvey]

I have used VHT wrinkle paint and have had very good results.   You will 
have to do one side at a time and allow a few days to harden before turning 
over.    You have to pick a very hot still day.    Apply it thick and follow 
the directions carefully.    A heat gun will assist with the wrinkle effect. 
Have three or four cans on hand for each side before you start if you are 
doing a large area.     You can return unused cans if need be.    Leave the 
cans and box  in the sun for a few hours before using the hotter the better 
the results.   Have thinners ready to clean the nozzle as they can block up.
