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

We suggest you first avoid adding water to your paint and minimize heat and air flow in your painting environment. Secondly. make use of acrylic mediums to extend the color, especially Slow-Dri Fluid or Gel, Airbrush Medium or Slow-Dri Fluid or Gel Additive. All of these will extend the open time and workability of your color. Remember that only one additive should be used within a color mix as combining additives can compromise the paint film stability.
