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. |
