This crackling medium will achieve an aged, cracked, antiqued or distressed wood finish on most hard craft surfaces. It can be antiqued or varnished once dry. To use: 1) Basecoat piece with your choice of acrylic paint; 2) Brush one even coat of Weathered Wood over the dry basecoat and allow to dry about 20 minutes to one hour; 3) Apply a top coat using a contrasting acrylic colour; 4) Once the top coat is thoroughly dry, seal the entire piece with a spray or brush-on sealer.
