And the sugar in deeper layers acts hygroscopic, i.e., it attracts
water. Not exactly what is intended.

The way you use sugar (or salt for that matter) is to sprinkle it on evenly
with a flour sifter while the paint is still wet. Then after the paint is
cured wash it off and the crystals dissolve out.leaving a nice uniform
finely pitted surface. The only real problem is that the pits are the shape
of the crystals, often straight sided which collects dirt and is hard to
brush out completely.
