Marie on Jun 27, Do you have any suggestion for the best paint stripper? How should I finish this? While some crackle media function with just a thin layer, this medium requires a thicker layer to achieve a crackle effect.
Layer more to get more dramatic cracks. Golden, one of the earliest leading manufacturers of acrylic paint, is a go-to brand choice for paints and other media.
This crackle paste is a thick, opaque substance that causes fissures in paint as it dries. This ounce jar is sure to last through many projects, and you can achieve a range of crack patterns depending on how thick you layer it on.
This jar contains milliliters of product. You can achieve a range of crackling patterns, depending on how much medium you layer over paint. All Rights reserved. May 15, pm. Buy it. Buy: Golden Acryl Crackle Paste. This technique causes cracks to occur within minutes, but the surface will have a different look than using the slow drying basic technique. This is a useful technique to use if you want to work on a 3D surface.
It is possible to speed up the later stages of the basic technique once the cracks have formed by using a heat tool. If a heat tool is used on a partially cracked surface, the force of the hot air will influence the way the cracks cluster making some interesting but less uniform effects.
The cracked platelets are barely attached to the surface and seem like they will flake off. When the cracks form each separate little platelet is attached in only one spot, often a point the size of a pinhead. However this point of attachment is usually quite strong especially if a layer of acrylic paint or medium is coating the underlying surface. Once all the cracks have formed it is important to apply a layer of acrylic medium to seal the surface and make sure all the platelets are held firmly in place.
Fluid acrylic medium diluted with water is recommended as it will penetrate the crackle material making a strong bond with the surface while not affecting the appearance of the cracked surface.
Thicker, more heavy bodied gels will also work, but brushstrokes may remain visible, affecting the look of the finished texture. Acrylic colours may be added to the acrylic medium to create different tints. If acrylic colours are applied on top of the dried crackle layer they can act as a sealer as they contain the same gluey binders as clear acrylic mediums.
These can be smoothed back down with a paintbrush or with your fingers when sealing the surface with acrylic medium. I want a clear cracked surface but the Kroma Crackle changed colour when it dried and turned white. Kroma crackle is a clear gel that turns white as it dries. It cannot be used as a varnish type layer that allows the surface underneath to be completely visible.
It can be used as a cracked textured surface that you can paint on top of using many kinds of art materials. I applied a layer of acrylic colour to the surface, let it dry, then applied Kroma Crackle.
