Quik-Crackle
Quik-Crackle is a nontoxic, water-soluble medium used between two nonfired water-based colors to create an antiqued wood or aged pottery look.
How to use Quik-Crackle -
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.

Duncan 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.
