XL Crackle Paste is designed for adding textural effects and impasto to
artworks on a range of surfaces.
The kit consists of two parts, a white base (primer) and the XL Crackle
paste for the top layer. The primer adheres well to materials such as
canvas, wood, styrofoam, plastic, glass or metal. It is not suitable
for materials made of silicone. The primer adheres perfectly to the
crackle paste and can be pigmented before application.
The XL Crackle Paste is a structural paste for the production of
cracks, which appear as the paste dries. These cracks are deeper and
wider the thicker you apply the XL Crackle Paste - a layer of up to
50mm thick is possible. Paint can be sprayed or painted over the
crackle paste after application - please see below for more information.
Base Layer:
Component 1 : Base / primer (small container). Apply the white primer
paste as a base coat on your surface / substrate. Apply a thin and
uniform layer. The primer adheres well to canvas, wood, styrofoam,
plastic, glass or metal. It will not bond well to silicone or materials
with silicone content.
XL Crackle Paste:
The XL Crackle Paste is a structure paste for the creation of cracks.
Cracks will appear as the paste dries. The cracks will be deeper and
wider the thicker you apply the XL Crackle Paste. A layer thickness up
to 50 mm is possible. Adhesion of the XL paste to the Base / primer
(component 1) is excellent. Optimum results are achieved at
temperatures of 18–25°C.
Tinting the base layer:
The Base primer is white by default. When you apply the XL Crackle
Paste on top, cracks will appear in the paste and the white colour of
the
primer will be visible underneath and show through the cracks. Use
regular acrylic paint or acrylic inks as a pigment to get the colour
shade you desire.
Simply mix them into the Base primer by adding a maximum of 20%
pigment. For example, if you need a total of 100g to prime your
painting surface, you can use 80g of primer and 20g of paint (or more
primer and less paint). You can introduce more flashy colours by mixing
shimmering pigments into the primer or use EliGlow Photo Luminescent
pigment powders to provide a radiance to your crackle art. You are
limited only by your own imagination!
Pigmenting the XL Crackle
paste: By default the XL crackle paste is beige in colour.
The paste itself cannot be coloured before application, but you can
still colour your cracks afterwards. You have two options for doing
this:
Option A: Spray the XL Crackle Paste with spraypaint immediately after
application (i.e. when still wet). The paste will break apart and as it
dries and you will obtain coloured cracks.
Option B: Let the XL crackle paste dry, then paint the surface as
desired. You can either select individual cracks or paint the entire
surface. With this technique take care not to let the paint run into
the cracks otherwise you will no longer have a colour contrast
