Next time my wife heads to a crafts store it looks like I'll have to find a bottle to play around with.

I'm thinking it would make a KILLER dried up pond/creek bed!   :drool:

 :) I am skeptical about the scale of the cracking for use in n-scale modelling.

Interesting product.

Wish there were a way to control the amount of cracking.  What they show would be pretty extreme for a road.

Not sure if it's appropriate for roads--to be honest, I've never seen a paved road that looked like that. Doug's suggestion, however, was right on the mark.

If the size of the cracks could be controlled, then might be good for a building in a late stage of ruin, especially in HO.

I was thinking that the crack size might scale with how much you thin it. Here are some nice results for weathered paint from a different forum. Granted this example is large scale, but it seems like a fun medium to play with.

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Looks 
useful for large unmaintained concrete areas like auto loadouts.  They almost always appear to be concrete poured by the low bidder with the least experience...
