Explanation:
Miranda, Votre hypothèse de "cupped flakes" tient la route.
"CUPPING FLAKES" est la forme que j'ai trouvée.
Une technique pour "relaxer" les écailles en cuvette:
"warm glue solution can be brushed under the cupping flakes, or indirectly through Japanese tissue. Warm electric spatula can be used to relax the infused areas of paint to re-adhere the cupping paint flakes. The whole area is left to dry under minimal pressure."
