Creates texture and crackle effects Suitable for acrylic and oil paints Use on a range of surfaces including canvas, wood and polymer clay Dries to a white, opaque finish in around 2-3 hours Great for building surfaces, giving an aged look Directions: Apply a consistent, thin layer of crackle paste to your surface with a flat taklon brush and wait till dry before painting For more cracks, apply a thin coat of acrylic paint to surface first to allow paste to sit on a surface that moves underneath the paste (allowing for more cracks) Drying time 2-3hrs (may vary) Handy Hints: For best results paint the crackle onto a smooth, glossy surface Not recommended for paper or cardboard Works better on large areas because the paste has more surface area to shrink back to and crackle For smaller crackle effect, apply a thin layer of crackle and wait till dry For larger crackle effect, apply a thin layer of PVA glue to the surface and wait at least 20-30mins before applying crackle paste An even undercoat of glossy acrylic is ideal for timber surfaces Note: If product is applied too quickly it can become ‘immovable’, (impacting the shrinking of the paste), stopping the cracks from properly forming
