Looking aged is all the rage! Use Quik-Crackle® to antique your nonfired pieces with ease ... It’s perfect for creating that cracked-wood or aged pottery look!
Quik-Crackle® is a nontoxic, water-soluble medium that you can use between two nonfired, water-based colors to crack the top color and reveal the basecoat, giving your piece that delightfully refined appearance!
| Basic Instructions 1. Base coat piece with OS Opaque Acrylics, Ultra Metallics or Liquid Pearls. 2. When base coat is dry, apply a smooth, even coat of Quik-Crackle®. Clean brush immediately with water and Duncan Brush Cleaner, making sure no Quik-Crackle® is left in the metal ferrule. Let Quik-Crackle® dry for 20 mintues to one hour. Quik-Crackle® can set overnight and the same exciting results will be achieved. 3. Working quickly, use a clean, soft brush to apply an even coat of a contrasting top-coat color over the dry Quik-Crackle®. Choose top-coat color for best results from the Bisq-Stain Opaques line. Once the top-coat color has been applied, do not reapply more color after cracking starts. Cracking time may vary from color to color. Wait a few minutes for cracking to start. |
Tips & Techniques 1. Cracking follows the direction in which the top-coat color was applied, that is, if color was swirled on, the cracks swirl. Straight strokes will give your project straight cracks. 2. Achieve large, bold cracks by applying a heaver top-coat color. 3. Achieve fine cracks by applying a thin top-coat color. 4. Achieve a fine, web cracking by sponging on top-coat color. 5. Flat Opaque brushes give the best results when applying Quik-Crackle®. 6. Take your time with the project; be sure all phases are properly set or dry before proceeding to the next step. 7. When cracking has completed and the top-coat is completely dry, you can add brushstrokes or design work. 8. Seal the project with a spray or brush-on sealer. |
