How to Use It (Step-by-Step Guide for Best Results)
Pro Tips: How to Apply Crackle Paste for Perfect Fissures
- Prepare the Surface: For best cracking results, apply a coat of glossy acrylic or PVA glue to your surface first and let it dry. This helps the paste grip and crack more effectively.
- Apply the Paste: Using a palette knife or a flat, stiff brush, apply a consistent, thin layer of the Crackle Paste 250ml
- Tip for Large Cracks: A slightly thicker application will generally yield larger, deeper cracks.
- Tip for Fine Cracks: A very thin layer will result in a finer, more subtle crackle pattern.
- Allow to Dry: Let the paste dry naturally for 2-3 hours (avoid force-drying with heat, which can prevent cracking). Watch the mesmerizing crackle pattern appear as it dries!
- Paint Over: Once completely dry, paint over the textured surface with a thinned wash of acrylic or oil paint. The color will naturally sink into the cracks, highlighting the texture beautifully.
- Clean Up: Clean your tools immediately with warm, soapy water.
