Use this Liquitex medium on its own or mix with colour to create a structurally stable crakle effect on rigid surfaces.
What it does
Creates a crackled texture as it dries on rigid surfaces
Dries to a hard, opaque finish
Maintains paint adhesion, durability & archival quality
How to use
Use on rigid supports only
Can be used on its own & painted over once dry
Can be mixed with acrylic color
- using no more than 15% paint to 85% medium
Apply paste evenly to surface with a palette knife
Leave to dry for at least 24 hours before painting over
Cracking will vary depending on how thickly you apply it
- the effects will be more obvious on thicker applications but will take longer to dry
When using on wood, seal with a base layer of fluid/gel medium & let dry before Crackle Paste application
Fully compatible with all Liquitex products
Dont dilute with water
Dont force dry with a fan or heater as this may result in less or no cracking
Dont try & slow the drying time by adding a slow drying medium as this will affect crackling effect
