Here are some frightening pictures from one actual project where we can see the downsides of the Eggshell effect very clearly.
This is a tinted black, glass marble coating on a soft mineral absorbent board, done by one of the companies promoting a hard shell, soft core product.
The pictures are taken just a few months after the installation was finished.
this damage could have been avoided, by choosing a soft shell, soft core product, like Fellert instead.
