Produces a cracked appearance on surface paint, revealing the underlying layers of paint colour(s) to mimic the effects of aging or add visual interest to surfaces. It can be applied to any surface suitable for acrylic paints, including wood, ceramic, plaster, clay, primed metal, canvas, and paper.

• Creates a cracked appearance on surface paint and displaying the under-laying layer of paint colour(s)
• mimicked the effects of age or added texture.
• Or create visual interest in surfaces.
• Can be used on most surfaces, including canvas, clay, plaster, wood, paper, primed metal, etc.

Direction: Shake thoroughly before each use.

Paint the surface with a base coat of your choice's Acrylic Colour(s). (This will be the colour(s) visible through the cracks of the top surface.) Let dry. Apply one coat of Prima Crackle Medium to either the entire surface or to only selected areas that you wish to crackle

Applying a thin coat of Crackle Medium will produce thin cracks, a thick coat, and thicker cracks. Allow drying thoroughly. As a top coat of colour, paint on contrasting Prima Acrylic Colour(s), which has been thinned with water.

Do not use full-colour strength from the tube, as this will inhibit crackling. When applying the top coat, use long, even sweeping strokes. A thicker coat of paint will produce thick cracks, and a thinner coat of paint creates thin cracks. The surface will crackle as it dries. Allow to dry thoroughly, then apply a final Prima Matte or Gloss Varnish coat to protect the surface.

Clean while wet with soap and water, and do not mix with any products intended for oil painting use.
