About this product:

• Liquitex Crackle Paste allows you to create crazed, cracked paint textures on any rigid, acrylic-friendly surface;
• Great for antiqued and weathered effects, the medium dries to a crackle finish with a hard, opaque finish;
• Maintains paint adhesion, durability without flaking;
• Provides an archival finish;
• Apply directly from the tub with a knife and overpaint or mix into acrylic color and use freely;
• Recommended thickness for crackling effect is between 5 and 10 mm;
• Can be used on its own and painted over once dry;
• Can be mixed with acrylic color – using no more than 10% paint to 90% medium;
• 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.
