Crackle Lacquers
An excellent product for the
newest trend in decorating,
crackle finishes. This product
enables the finisher to produce
an excellent “antique look” for
both new and old wood products.
Our Premium Precatalyzed
Lacquer or CAB Acrylic finishes
L275 are recommended for protection
and durability over light colored
Crackle finishes. Crackle
Lacquers are supplied as tinting
bases and no reduction is necessary, product is ready to
use. For tinting, use only colorants formulated for use in
lacquers. Use no more than 6 ounces per gallon of
universal colorant. Crackle lacquer requires a smooth
prefinished surface to work correctly. Do not apply to raw
or poorly finished surfaces. After applying your base coats
of stain or pigmented lacquers we recommend multiple
coats of Vinyl Sanding Sealer or other appropriate lacquer
finish to seal and separate the crackle from the base coat
or base wood. Crackle should normally be applied within
1 hour of final seal coat before applying Crackle Lacquer.
The clear coat should be dry but not over cured. DO NOT
SAND THE FINAL COATS BEFORE APPLYING
CRACKLE LACQUER. Sanding the final coat will create
uneven, inconsistent cracks. After properly sealing the
substrate, or the base coats, spray the tinted Crackle
Lacquer next. After spraying crackle you must apply a
clear coat for adhesion.
Spraying
Apply base coat (desired color), then clear coat
with a lacquer or vinyl sanding sealer. Apply
crackle lacquer (desired color) by spray
application. Crackling occurs as it dries, showing
base coat. Thin coats will show thin crackle
patterns. Thick coats will show thick crackle
patterns. Topcoat with a clear lacquer coating
for durability and protection.
Brushing
Follow normal instructions, but instead of
spraying the crackle, apply with a quality paint
brush. You must apply with long even strokes.
Do not brush back and forth. Brush in one
direction and brush quickly. Because of the
quick drying times of Crackle Lacquer brushing is
not recommended for large areas only on small
areas as an accent.
Padding
Follow normal instructions, but instead of
spraying your crackle lacquer, apply it with a
paper towel. Wad the towel in to a ball and
dab the crackle onto your piece. It is possible
to stop the crackling process at any time by
immediately applying a clear topcoat. This
enables the finisher to customize the crackling
process and make the application unique.
