Polyvine Acrylic Crackle Glaze

8 square metres per litre

Application:

• Choose two colours of matt emulsion paint, one for the base coat – the colour of the cracks, the other for the top coat.
• Apply the base coat and allow to dry.
• Seal with Polyvine Decorator’s Varnish.
• Mix the crackle glaze well.
• Apply in one direction and allow to dry.
• This coat must be smooth and even. If not, remove the glaze with a damp cloth and re-apply, working it into the surface with the brush before laying off to a smooth even coat.
• Apply the topcoat of matt emulsion, thinned with water to produce an easily flowing paint.
• Apply at right angles to the crackle glaze coat. Load brush with generous amount of paint and apply in one pass only, allowing the paint to flow off the brush.
• Do not over brush as this will mix the glaze and paint and no cracks will appear.
• The thickness of the topcoat determines the size of the cracks – the thicker the coat the wider the cracks. 

Caution:

• Always try the technique on a test piece before embarking on the project.
