Create interesting textures and effects in your paintings with our crackle paste. This opaque medium can be used on a range of surfaces and is great for both acrylic and oil paints.
- Ideal for a range of surfaces including canvas, wood and polymer clay
- Creates texture and crackle effects
- Great for building surfaces
- Dried to a white, opaque finish
- Suitable for acrylic and oil paints
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
