Aqua CrackleMate™
$35.70
Aqua CrackleMate™ is a clear paint additive that transforms SetCoat®, other Faux Effects International® products and ordinary Latex wall paints into a crackle medium that can be applied over AquaSize™ with beautiful results. This versatile material is formulated to allow for greater latitude in customizing crackle mixtures. Many decorative crackle patterns can be obtained by varying the Aqua CrackleMate™ mixture ratios and application methods.
Product Specifications
Product Tips
- Adding CrackleMate™ to FauxCrème Color™ creates a cracked glaze effect. This finish must be top coated for durability.
- Roughly 4 to 1. Mix roughly 1 Gallon of CrackleMate™ to 4 Gallons of Paint (SetCoat®).
- When adding to ordinary latex paint, results may vary depending on the brand of paint and the amount of CrackleMate™’ added.
- Lizard and snakeskin are examples of crackle patterns that can be obtained by blotting a mixture of FauxCrème Color™ and CrackleMate™ over AquaSize™
Basic Application
- Prepare the work surface by applying 2 coats of SetCoat® Clear or SetCoat®. Let dry for 2 1/2 hours, depending on the drying conditions. Apply an even coat of AquaSize™ to the areas to be crackled. Allow the size to dry 15 – 45 minutes until tacky.
- Mix 20 – 30% CrackleMate into SetCoat® orFauxCrème Color™. When using flat latex paint, thin the paint with 20 -30% tap water before adding 20 – 30% CrackleMate™. Make sure to mix well. In general do not exceed 50% CrackleMate™ when adding to any paint material.
- When the AquaSize™ is ready; apply a full coat of the CrackleMate™ mixture with a brush, sponge, roller or sprayer. Do not overwork the CrackleMate™ mixture into the AquaSize™.
- Allow to dry thoroughly before applying a coat of clear ColorSeal™ to seal in the crackle. Before glazing or top coating make sure the ColorSeal™ layer is completely dry.
- Apply another coat of ColorSeal™ over any color glazing, and then if more durability is desired apply a coat of AquaThane™ for lasting resistance to scuffing and wear.
