liquitex crackle paste medium

LIQUITEX CRACKLE PASTE

Liquitex crackle paste for acrylic paint.

Creates a crackled texture when drying on rigid surfaces.

Dries to a hard, opaque finish.

Maintains the adhesion, durability and archival quality of the paint.

How to use:

Use only on rigid supports.

It can be used on its own and can be painted over once dry.

Can be mixed with acrylic colour, using no more than 15% paint to 85% medium.

Apply the paste evenly to the surface with a painting knife.

Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before painting.

The crackle effect will vary depending on how thickly you apply the medium. The effects will be more obvious in thicker applications, but will take longer to dry.

When using on wood, seal with a base coat of fluid/gel medium and allow to dry before application of the paste.

Fully compatible with all Liquitex products.

Do not dilute with water.

Do not force drying with a fan or heater, as this may result in fewer or no cracks.

Do not try to slow down the drying time by adding a slow drying medium, as this will affect the crackling effect.
