I do love it when a plan comes together.
I prepped the back of the lava bud guard stanchions with gloss coat for the crackle. I had been feeling pretty ambivalent about them, but the gloss helps deepen the paint so they feel less flat and…well, PVC, so I went ahead and glossed the interiors too. Applying the crackle was like frosting the weirdest cakes ever, but Minion insisted we finish. It dried pretty much exactly as I was hoping. It’s kind of a shame they’ll be facing the center support, but hopefully some of the under-lighting will bleed through the cracks and set them aglow.
I was pretty into Downton Abbey, right up until they fridged Anna. Fuck that shit. I smell Julian Fellowes, I stream skip().
