Details: Create interesting textures and patterns on your artwork with this premium Crackle Paste. It offers a thick, creamy, textured consistency that's easy to apply and build on surfaces. While the texture paste dries, cracks will begin appearing. Once dry, you can add a wash of color with acrylic or oil paint. 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 the paste to sit on a surface that moves underneath (allowing for more cracks) Drying time 2-3hrs (may vary) Handy Hints: Paste has a textured consistency but shouldn’t be overly dry or lumpy For best results paint the crackle onto a smooth, glossy surface 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
