: Can I use the varnish/glair ( the mixing of egg whites and water) on furiture that I paint?

The pros use a diluted hide glue for that effect. It holds better than glair and makes a smaller, more convincing crackle that can then be rubbed with a wax/turpentine/charcoal mix and then dusted with rottenstone and wiped, for that true antique look.
