Crackle easily creates that aged, cracked effect on your project.
Apply one coat of Dixie Belle Paint in the color of your choice. If natural wood is desired, apply one coat Clear Coat and let dry completely.  
Stir the Crackle and apply. Do not thin the crackle medium. The thicker the application, the larger the cracks. Use a cross-hatch 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 color. The cracking process begins as the paint dries. Let dry completely for 24 hours.
