Pureco Crackle Finish is a non-toxic, eco-friendly, VOC-free medium that creates an attractive eggshell-style crackle effect on your paintwork. Made in Australia, this water-based formula is designed for easy use on a variety of projects, adding a unique, aged texture to any surface.
Instructions for Use:
Prepare Base Coat: Apply a base coat of paint and let it dry. Choose a contrasting color to highlight the crackle effect. (Tip: If desired, skip the base coat to let the original surface show through.)
Apply Crackle Finish: Brush a thin, even coat of Crackle Finish on the areas where you want the crackled effect. Allow it to dry for about an hour, depending on coat thickness and weather.
Topcoat Application: Using light, sweeping motions, apply your final paint layer. Avoid over-brushing, as this will diminish the crackle effect. Touch up any missed spots after drying if needed.
Seal the Finish: Once the final coat is fully dry (approx. 4 hours), seal with your choice of wax or topcoat for added durability.
Note that Crackle finish is best used with Pureco Chalk Finish, however it can be used with Pureco Silk Finish, just note that the self levelling properties of Silk Finish may reduce the amount of crackle you achieve.
