Crystal Clear Crackle dries to a hard, clear, glossy nonabsorbent surface creating a “cracked porcelain” pattern on top of your paint or foil which an overglaze will enhance. Crystal Clear Crackle can be used by itself and you would achieve very small/tiny cracks. We do however recommend that you use a coat of Cracking Size prior to using the Crystal Clear Crackle which gives more noticeable 'cracking'. Two coats of Crackle Size before using the Crystal Clear Crackle means the 'islands' of crackle are larger again. We always recommend using a test board first to see which way of using our products suits the project you have in mind. Crystal Clear Crackle can be further enhanced with Cracking Size, which we would recommend. You can also combine with our Glazing Tints for a whole new/faux old look!
