basscat28 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Does anyone have a good suggestion for a crackle medium? I've tried a decoart crackle medium with extremely poor results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Fisher Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I've used Folkart crackle medium brand from Hobby Lobby with good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I used Elmer's white glue, and it worked. I thinned it a little with plain water, and the crackle pattern was smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootermcbob Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I too have the folkart crackle medium and really like the results I get. I have found that a thinner coat of the crackle medium followed with a slightly thicker coat of paint gives me the best results. I saw a youtube video where the author really applied the crackle medium in a thick coat, followed with a thick coat of paint. In my findings, I had trouble with the "excess" paint and medium shifting on my lure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Young Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 The trick is to brush it on even. And I throw the paint on it right away. But you can try letting it dry before applying paint. Maybe it will work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
