How to Use

1. Paint your base layer using acrylic paint and allow it to dry (hairdryer can speed this up).

2. Apply a generous, even layer of Marabu Crackle Medium over the dry base and let it dry fully (again, a hairdryer may be used).

3. Once dry, apply your top layer of acrylic paint quickly. Cracks will begin to appear almost immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I use Marabu Crackle Medium with any paint?
It works best with acrylic paints. Oil paints or watercolors are not compatible. Use high-quality acrylics for better crackle definition.

Q2: Does the weather in Pakistan affect the cracking effect?
While drying time may vary in different climates (e.g., Karachi’s humidity vs. Lahore’s dry winter), the crackle effect still works well. Using a hairdryer helps speed up the process and improves consistency.

Q3: Can I seal the crackle finish after drying?
Yes, once fully dry, you can apply a clear acrylic varnish or spray sealant to protect your artwork and enhance the final appearance.

Q4: How do I control the size of the cracks?
Thicker applications of the crackle medium or top coat usually create larger, more visible cracks, while thinner layers result in finer textures.
