Give at least 45min drying time to the primed surface / objects but not more than 24h before applying the CRACKLE Color. CRACKLE effect will vary with different drying times. Apply CRACKLE linearly (Piktogramm) evenly in thin layers. Thin application creates from a farer distance creates fine crackles, a stronger/ heavy coat application leads to bigger crackles. Crack growth depends also on room temperature and thickness of prior coating. To achieve greater crackling effects, further application can be applied after 5 minutes.
