If you put it on in thin coats it doesnt flake too bad. I usually cover it with some kind of clear sealant to help with that problem.

Here are some links to posts in my BTL box that I fleckstoned.

I did not cover mine with any sealer or clearcoat. It has not flaked. A lot will depend on which brand you use.

I followed the instructions on the can which called for pretty thick coats IIRC. Other brands may call for different methods.

I must have edited my post while you were posting. I answered both of these questions in my previous post.

It's pretty difficult to put it on lightly. I used the fleckstone brand and it came out very full with just one quick spray at about 6 feet away.

If you do it, make sure to seal it well. I only did about two coats of clear coat and it came off pretty easily. I didn't care for the look or feel when I was done with it and it was a ***** to get even if you didn't get it right the first spray. The brand GrnEydDvl used seemed to go on much lighter as well.
