The look and feel of real aged and cement.  I wasn't sure if I was going to put this drop up for sale becuase its actually cracking because of the heavy texture but personally I think thats what makes this a very unique backdrop.  Even when pieces start to chip off,  I colored the layer underneath so it will never show white.  This is one of those you have to see it to believe it.  I had a lot of fun creating this backdrop and will probably make many more of these soon with varing thicknesses and colors.
