Liquitex Professional Crackle Paste – 237m

CRACKLE PASTE – 237ml

Use on its own or mix with color to create a structurally stable crackle 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 and archival quality

HOW TO USE IT

• Use on rigid supports only
• Can be used on its own and 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 and let dry before Crackle Paste application
• Fully compatible with all Liquitex products
• Recommended thickness for crackling effect is between 5 and 10 mm

HOW NOT TO USE IT

• Don’t dilute with water
• Don’t force dry with a fan or heater as this may result in less or no cracking
• Don’t try and slow the drying time by adding a slow drying medium as this will affect crackling effect
