I’m confused as to if you already had a clear coat before applying the crackle because I have a one step I purchased and I want a clear crackle over different printed rice papers I will be incorporating into my projects. Because you have a painted surface it doesn’t matter. I believe what I have to do is seal my project wait and then apply the crackle it would have been much easier if I could have found the 2 step I wanted on Amazon but it was out anyway can you lmk what you think. Thanks.
Good day to you. I did not have a clear coat before applying the crackle, but I am thinking if you are planning on using it over rice paper, the paper would be absorbent and you would need a clear coat first as you mentioned. That would inhibit the crackle medium from absorbing into the paper, which in that case, I wouldn't think it would work. Why don't you try it on a small piece first? That will be the best way to see. And please, let me know the outcome. I would love to share it with the viewers here. Thanks so much and good luck to you. :) Sheila
@@witchywoman6607 Yes. That is what you are supposed to do with it. If you use a metallic bronze or gold it gives another beautiful effect. Like fine porcelain that has aged. i love using it for that effect! Glad it worked for you. :)
Thank you so much. It is very subtle. Like porcelain. You can see a close-up photo of it in my blog post here: sheilalandrydesigns.wordpress.com/2023/03/03/a-new-celtic-design/ Scroll down a bit (or read the entire blog! 😉) That was exactly the look I was going for. The crackle is only on the upper and lower parts of the sign. I hope this helps.
