To use Deco Art crackle paint, based on the provided information, the key steps involve careful application and drying for the desired crackle effect.
The referenced video segment demonstrates applying a specific Deco Art product, presumably a crackle medium or paint designed for a significant crackle effect, referred to as achieving a "Mega Crackle Effect".
The process highlighted involves applying the crackle product over your prepared surface (which would typically have a dry base coat color).
Here's how to apply it according to the reference:
- Apply the product "completely neat".
- Use "a very thin coat" of the crackle material.
- Once applied, "you should see cracks start to appear quite quickly".
- For best results and to allow the cracks to develop properly, it is "highly recommend[ed] leaving this to dry naturally without use of a heat tool."
By applying a thin, even layer and allowing it to air dry completely, you facilitate the crackling process that reveals the underlying base coat (if used) or creates cracks in the single layer of paint. Avoid rushing the drying process with heat, as natural drying is recommended for optimal crackle formation.
