Preparation
Ensure that all surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free from dirt, dust, grease, wax, polish and any other surface contaminants.
Application
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability, colour and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.
Practice on walls and vertical surfaces beforehand.
- Mix the product thoroughly before use
- Seal any porous surfaces
- Apply 1 coat of satin emulsion for the basecoat, in the chosen colour (This will be the colour of the cracks)
- Allow the base coat to dry, following the instructions on the tin
- Apply an even coat of Polyvine Crackle Glaze, working in one direction only
- If application is uneven and rough, remove the glaze using a damp cloth and reapply, working it into the surface before laying it off smooth
- Allow up to 1 hour for the crackle glaze to dry
- Using a different colour, apply 1 coat of matt emulsion for the top coat - dilute with 10% water to ease the paint flow
- Apply the top coat in a different direction to the crackle glaze, with minimal applications
- Allow the entire project to fully dry for 24 hours
- The cracks will appear immediately as the paint dries
For larger areas, it is advised to use a HVLP spray gun to achieve a uniform coverage. Apply 6-8 inches from the surface in a sweeping motion. Read the manufactures instructions for use.
Please note: The width of the cracks will depend on the thickness of the top coat applied. If over brushed the glaze and paint will mix and no cracks will appear.
Cleaning EquipmentApplication equipment can be cleaned using soap and water before the coating dries. Any dried deposits will need a paint stripper for removal. Once cleaned, allow to dry naturally.
Finishing
Polyvine Crackle Glaze must be protected with Polyvine Decorators Varnish
F.A.Q.
I want my finished project to be white and have black cracks in it. Would I use a black base coat, this & then a white top? What paint is best to use?
Polyvine make a range of creative products to suit many projects. The Crackle Glaze could be a suitable option for you, but it depends on a few more factors as to how it is best to achieve this. Please give our Woodcare experts a call on 01303 213838 to discuss in more detail.
