Liquitex Crackle Paste can be mixed with colour to create a structurally stable crackle effect on rigid surfaces. It dries to a hard, opaque finish and maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality. This medium can also be used on its own and painted over once dry.
Characteristics:
- Lightfast & archival
- Permanent
- Non-yellowing
- Water-resistant when dry
- Intermixable with all Liquitex products
Specifications:
- Contains 237 ml (8 oz)
- Can be used with acrylic paints
- Can be used on all acrylic-friendly surfaces (rigid supports only)
- Can be mixed with acrylic colour (using no more than 15% paint to 85% 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)
- Recommended techniques: crackled texture, vintage look
Tips:
- Do not dilute with water
- Do not force dry with a fan or heater, as this may result in less or no cracking.
- Do not try and slow the drying time by adding a slow drying medium, as this will affect crackling effect.
- Apply paste evenly to surface with a palette knife
- Let dry for at least 24 hours before painting over
- When using on wood, seal with a base layer of fluid/gel medium and let dry before Crackle Paste application.
