Application Instructions

• Apply a thin, consistent layer using a flat taklon brush
• Allow to dry completely before painting (2-3 hours drying time)
• For enhanced cracking, apply acrylic paint undercoat first to create movement beneath the paste
• Best results on smooth, glossy surfaces
• Works more effectively on larger areas with greater surface shrinkage

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Paint onto glossy surfaces for optimal crackle formation
• For smaller cracks, apply thin layer and allow to dry naturally
• For larger cracks, apply PVA glue base and wait 20-30 minutes before applying paste
• Use even glossy acrylic undercoat on timber surfaces
• Allow adequate drying time between applications to prevent the paste from becoming immovable and blocking crack formation
