Dixie Belle Crackle

This is perfect for that cracked, aged effect. Apply one coat of Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral paint of any colour. (This will be the colour of the cracks), to a properly cleaned surface. If natural wood is desired, apply 1 coat Clear Coat and let dry completely. Stir Dixie Belle Crackle and apply. Do not thin the Crackle medium. The thicker the application the larger the cracks. Use a cross brush stroke to create erratic and wide cracks. Do not back brush; this will disturb the cracking process. Allow crackle to dry completely anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight. Apply a top coat of any Dixie Belle Paint colour. The crackling process begins as the paint dries. Let dry completely for 24 hours.
