Hi Guys! Thank you for watching, Just to let you know In the video at 16 minutes 45 seconds i say leave it for about 2 hours but i should of said 20 minutes sorry about that :(
The amount of time you hold the flame is very important. You have to remember that the paint is off gassing (also why you should be wearing a respirator!) so when you are flash sealing the paint it is also warming up and at a certain point those gases catch fire. In my experience is best to do it in shorter bursts as to keep the paint a little cooler! Thanks for this demo, I'm so excited to try the crackle paint. I have been on the fence about trying it but I'm sold now Haha.
Hi Terry, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment and feedback i really appreciate it :) Yes the crackle paint lets a lot of gases off and can easily set on fire if you get to close like i did in the video. I use The flame only to speed up the crackling time when filming a painting where i am using it, otherwise i will just leave it to dry naturally :) Yes give it ago and let me know how you get on with it :)
I love the Crackle; I'm having a guitar done in this kind of finish for me. So many different cool combinations you can do. I really like the teal/blues here.
Hi Larry thank for the comment, it's really appreciated :) Yes the crackle paint gives such a good effect , and different makes of paint gives different pattern's , i have a few idea's in mind to use it on more painting in the future, it's one of my favorite effect paint to use :) What colour are you having your guitar painted ?
Hi John, I just wanted to give my two cents with using the crackle paint. I use it with Montana gold and have found that I get a better crackle effect when the color base coat has had some time to dry. I do hit the crackle with a blow torch and that gives a better crackle effect than with no heat. When I crackle over wet i haven’t had good results. Just what I’ve found to work for me.
Hi Ryan, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment and suggestions I really appreciate it :) Yes heat doe's crack it a lot better, i seem to get better results when the paint is a bit wet, but i may try it where i leave the paint for a while like a hour or so and see how that turns out, it may produce a better crack :) :)
Great viewing experience and mesmerizing with the background music. Thank you for the demonstration, I'll be doing this on an old pair of Technics 1200 Turntables.
Hi Ric, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave these kind words, the comment, and the great feedback, I really appreciate it :) O, nice idea they'll look cool with the crackle on them, I should of kept my decks :) I could of tired that myself to see how they looked :)
Hi Joe, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the feedback, I appreciate it :) Yes it will :) I have a another Crackle paint tutorial on my channel where i use a heat gun to dry it and that worked really well :)
Hi JoJo, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback, and the suggestion I really appreciate it :) I did buy a mic to improve the sound but it was no good :( I'm in the process of looking at a new one but can't decide which one to get I'll have to do some more research on them, as I don't know much about them :(
Good video Jon. It's a bit old, hope you are watching. I want to put a very fine, or small crackle on something. Like part of the Montana White panel at I think 21:20. Not all of it was like that. What governs the size of the crackle? Why did it vary across the section? Looks like you put the same amount of base and top coat on it all. I am thinking it relates to thickness of one or the other coat. Maybe heat relates to it. I could put my item in an oven as it is metal.
Hi Z E, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave these kind words and this comment, feedback, and the question I really appreciate it :) Yes you can use a hairdryer or heat gun to dry it, i did another video tutorial about the crackle paint where i used a heat gun to dry it and it turn out really good hope this helps :)
Hi Helen, Sorry for the late response, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the question I really appreciate it :) Yes it should work on wood, but i would trail it on a small piece first to see how well it works before doing a full piece of furniture, hope this helps :)
I did the crackle effect with normal cheap spray paint just spray your second layer while the first is still wet and make sure the first is a thick layer
Hi Dogs27, Thank you very much for watching, and for taking the time to leave this comment and suggestion I really appreciate it :) Yes i find it works better if the paint is wet before adding the crackle, it also depends on the paint you use the cheaper paint is thinner then the more expensive paint so gives you longer to add the crackle paint on it before it starts to dry out, Thats why i used 3 different kinds of paint in this video to show how it works on different paint :)
Hi Horizon, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback and question I really appreciate it :) Yes it would work on wood hope this helps :)

Hi, I have a question so I started painting and I also attempted my first time using spray paint on too a canvas and I noticing now after a month that the spray paint is starting to crack on my piece. I didn’t apply any heat or anything like that so I’m just wondering do you have to put some type of primer for it for it to not crack? I love the crack effect but I’m definitely not looking for my piece to have that affect. Thanks
Hi Sinon, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the question, I really appreciate it :) No you don't have to prime a canvas before spraying on it if it says it already primed, I have never primed any canvas that i have spray painted on, but when i buy them, i always buy primed ones :) I'm not sure why it would do that, It's never happened to any i have painted, I have canvases that i have painted over 3 years ago which are fine. Did you put a clear coat on after you finished the painting ?
@@JonBarberArt yeah, I just double checked if the canvas I have are primed which they are! I haven’t apply any type of clear coat or varnish. Which I would normal put varnish when I sell the piece. But should I have put a clear coating on it?!?!?! If so what type of coating do you use? But I’m wondering if it’s maybe the spray paint cans/brand that I used?
Hi Eve, thank you very much for the comment it's much appreciated :) yes it is a cool technique and i like adding it into some painting it gives a good effect :)
Hi hideoutdodge01, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback and questions i really appreciate it :) Yes you could use a heat gun to dry the paint but not sure how it would work doing it on crackle paint has you are only heating parts of it at a time where as using the flame you heat it up all at the same time, it may work or it may not , If you try it could you let me know how you got on thank you :) And for the second question i apply the clear coat as soon as i finish the painting :) Hope these answers help :)
No problem hideoutdodge01, Happy to help. You could always do a tester painting on something else first to give it a try and to see how it turns out before painting the guitar :)
Hi Finn, Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the questions, I really appreciate it :) To be honest with you I very rarely dry with a flame anymore, I find a heat gun or hair dryer works the same and is a lot more controllable :) the flame dying process is mainly used to entertain people that are watching to give a kind of wow factor especially when painting live in front of a crowd of people, it will work to dry the painting and make it crack tho but you have to be careful not to set the painting on fire if you get to close with the flame, the more crackle you put down the more it should crackle, and no there's not a certain type of poster board for this, hope this helps :)

Hi Chaos, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment and question i really appreciate it :) Yes if the paint is dry just add a little clear coat over it too wet it back up hope this helps :)
What determines how big or small the crackle cells are? Does it have to do with base coat thickness? Does drying time of base coat matter all info says at least 45 min and i see here that it happens o spot. Also if i do 2 same cards same color same technique but one is drying naturally and the other with a flame would there be a difference or the flame just speeds up everything
Hi Denislav, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the questions I really appreciate it :) What i have found is that it all depends how wet the base coat is to what sort of crackle it produces and also what brand of paint is used will also effect the way it crackles, the wetter the base coat the more i find it will crackle. I only use the flame to speed the process up when i'm filming a video that i'm using crackle in, but if i'm using it and not filming i just leave it to dry naturally, the results are pretty much the same, Also using a flame to dry it can sometimes set the painting on fire if you get to close to it which can be a very bad thing, as it can ruin your painting and i always have something on hand to put it out if it won't blow out.
Hi Derrick, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the information, I really appreciate it :) The paper will only warp or blister if you get too close to the paint or set it on fire, if you don't get too close that won't happen and the planets will turn out fine :)
@@JonBarberArt I'm just getting started. Thanks for all your previous instruction. Several guys out there that are decent. But you have the best step by step. I just watched the cap video. And stars with the scraper. They seem way harder than I thought they would. But after the cap video I think I might need a cap better suited for making over spray easier. Any thoughts?

How does one get a small crackle effect? The object I want to paint is really small so I’d like the crackle effect to also be quite small, only a few mm long crackles.
Hi Rytam, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment and questions I really appreciate it :) The less crackle paint you add the less it will crack so therefore it should make a smaller crackle effect, but i'm im not sure if it will crackle just a few mm, the only way to know for sure is to try it out, next time i'm painting i'll give it try :) :)
Hi Klayman, Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback and question i appreciate it :) I only did it that way for the purpose of this tutorial, If i was doing it on a painting i would put all the base colour down first then spray the crackle paint over the top hope this helps :)
Hi C_Hasting, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment and question I really appreciate it :) I'm not sure it would work if there's no paint on the blank side of the skateboard before adding the crackle paint , but it may work if you put a coat of clear on first, I've never tired or done it without having a colour down first, but I'll give it a try on a spare piece of wood to see what it doe's and let you know :)
Hi C_Hasting, i gave it try by just spraying the black crackle over some wood, it didn't do anything, i then tried it with some clear coat on the wood first still did nothing, and the last one i tried was putting a colour on the wood and then the crackle it worked perfect when i did that, so for it to give a crackle effect on something you would need to put a coat of colour on first hope this helps :)
Can you do the crackle paint in reverse? I'll be painting an rc truck body where you paint the inside of the lexan body, so I would have to put the top coast down first... Can you do crackle paint then the color, and get the same effect?
Hi Dragonwhyr, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment and question i really appreciate it :) I'm not sure that it would work to be honest as you have to have some paint on the surface first before putting the crackle on it as the crackle paint won't crack if these's nothing under it. I've never tired it so i may be wrong i might give it a go and see if it works tho :) Sorry i could'nt be more helpful.
@@JonBarberArt does the crackle paint start to crack on clear coat or only on colored paint? Maybe do a clear coat on the clear lexan truck body, then crackle paint, then the color....
@@JonBarberArt if you do decide to try any of the methods (reverse, or with a clear coat first) please let new know how it turns out, whether good or bad..
Hi Dragonwhyr, I've given it a go on glass spraying the crackle first then spraying the colour over the top, it did nothing on the glass when i turned round :( I did give it another coat of crackle on top to see if it would do anything to the first layer of crackle but it didn't. I then sprayed a colour over the 2nd coat of crackle and it worked as it should and crack really nice :) So to be honest i'm not sure it would work on a lexan truck body, it may tho with it being a different material, or for it too crack it has to be put over a colour to work right, I hope you find this helpful :)
Hi Jose, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment and question I appreciate it :) It should be ok to use a heat gun but don't get to close to it or hold it in the same spot for to long else it will start to bubble the paint up, hope this helps :)
Hi Ben, Thank you for the question , I have never tried it with Krylon but i have try it on other makes and they all do the crackling effect , but they all look a little different from one and other , sorry i couldn't answer your question any better , But give it a try it might crackle really well , let me know how you get on with it :)
Hi Gaston, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, I really appreciate it :) lol not for me :P I am going to get one tho, A few people have told me they are good to use :) so i want to get one to give it a try :)
Hi Vincent, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the question I really appreciate it :) Do you want the cracks to be gold and then the rest of the lion white? if so you would have to paint it all gold first and then spray the white crackle over it, so when the white crackle's you will see the gold show up in the cracks , hope this is helpful :)
How does this work on plastic? Would it work if the surface is rounded (like a dome)? How tough is the surface? Would this be strong enough to use on something that would be handled a fair bit? (I'm looking to paint a keyboard) How high up off the surface are the crackle pieces/could a couple coats of clear top coat make this able to be smoothed and polished? Really cool effect.
Hi Brian, Thank you so much for watching, and for taking the time to leave this comment and question, I really appreciate it :) It should work on plastic i tried it on plexiglass and it worked ok, yes it should work on a round surface, should be strong enough with a few coats of clear coat, the crackle height will depend on how thick of a layer you put on, and yes it can be smoothed and polished after a few coats of clear coat, hope this helps.
Hi Scott, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment and the question I really appreciate it :) I've never tried a blow dryer to dry my paint, but i suppose it would work to speed the process up :) Sorry i couldn't be more helpful.

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, I appreciate it :) i have never tried it on a terra cotta pot, it could of been the paint you used, some spray paint brands won't work with the crackle paint because of the formula in the paint.

@@JonBarberArt i read that it helps the paint have a more defined break. I guess when it's being swirled and overlapped certain areas have more paint applied, as opposed to having the paint added in a linear spray

Ja, I also wanted to ask you if you are using a torch instead of a heat gun on purpose. Maybe the crackling with the heat gun has less effect. 😊 Great video, very scary to set painting on fire. I also use a torch for acrylic pouring, but it never burned so far. 😅

Also if i do 2 same cards same color same technique but one is drying naturally and the other with a flame would there be a difference or the flame just speeds up everything
Hi Denislav, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the questions I really appreciate it :) What i have found is that it all depends how wet the base coat is to what sort of crackle it produces and also what brand of paint is used will also effect the way it crackles, the wetter the base coat the more i find it will crackle. I only use the flame to speed the process up when i'm filming a video that i'm using crackle in, but if i'm using it and not filming i just leave it to dry naturally, the results are pretty much the same, Also using a flame to dry it can sometimes set the painting on fire if you get to close to it which can be a very bad thing, as it can ruin your painting and i always have something on hand to put it out if it won't blow out.
the crackle looks good tho 👍🏼

Fire will also warp the paper or even blister it. You'll have wobble planets cause your round won't contact paper all the way around.
Hi Derrick, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the information, I really appreciate it :) The paper will only warp or blister if you get too close to the paint or set it on fire, if you don't get too close that won't happen and the planets will turn out fine :)
@@JonBarberArt I'm just getting started. Thanks for all your previous instruction. Several guys out there that are decent. But you have the best step by step.
I just watched the cap video. And stars with the scraper. They seem way harder than I thought they would. But after the cap video I think I might need a cap better suited for making over spray easier. Any thoughts?

Good stuff Jon! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Eric thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and feedback I really appreciate it mate :)
do you not have to wait for the undercoat to dry before applying the crackle paint, that is what they say on the website
Why not us use a heat gun to dry it? No flame up then!!!
How does one get a small crackle effect? The object I want to paint is really small so I’d like the crackle effect to also be quite small, only a few mm long crackles.
Hi Rytam, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment and questions I really appreciate it :) The less crackle paint you add the less it will crack so therefore it should make a smaller crackle effect, but i'm im not sure if it will crackle just a few mm, the only way to know for sure is to try it out, next time i'm painting i'll give it try :) :)
very good
Hi, Thank you very much for the comment it's much appreciated :)
would be cool with some UV-Fluorescent colors in the crackling
Also, wouldn't it make more sense to put two rows of color and then the different crackle paint, or does it need to be done in that order?
Hi Klayman, Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback and question i appreciate it :) I only did it that way for the purpose of this tutorial, If i was doing it on a painting i would put all the base colour down first then spray the crackle paint over the top hope this helps :)
What color is the cheap car paint? Thanks for the vid
Hi M H, Thank you for the comment and question it's really appreciated :) the cheap car paint is the green colour hope this helps :)
Would this work with the black crackle on the back of a blank skateboard and the color of the blank coming through the cracks?
Hi C_Hasting, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment and question I really appreciate it :) I'm not sure it would work if there's no paint on the blank side of the skateboard before adding the crackle paint , but it may work if you put a coat of clear on first, I've never tired or done it without having a colour down first, but I'll give it a try on a spare piece of wood to see what it doe's and let you know :)
Hi C_Hasting, i gave it try by just spraying the black crackle over some wood, it didn't do anything, i then tried it with some clear coat on the wood first still did nothing, and the last one i tried was putting a colour on the wood and then the crackle it worked perfect when i did that, so for it to give a crackle effect on something you would need to put a coat of colour on first hope this helps :)
Can you do the crackle paint in reverse? I'll be painting an rc truck body where you paint the inside of the lexan body, so I would have to put the top coast down first... Can you do crackle paint then the color, and get the same effect?
Hi Dragonwhyr, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment and question i really appreciate it :) I'm not sure that it would work to be honest as you have to have some paint on the surface first before putting the crackle on it as the crackle paint won't crack if these's nothing under it. I've never tired it so i may be wrong i might give it a go and see if it works tho :) Sorry i could'nt be more helpful.
@@JonBarberArt does the crackle paint start to crack on clear coat or only on colored paint? Maybe do a clear coat on the clear lexan truck body, then crackle paint, then the color....
@@JonBarberArt if you do decide to try any of the methods (reverse, or with a clear coat first) please let new know how it turns out, whether good or bad..
I will do i think i may give it a go tomorrow, while i'm painting :) I'll let you know the outcome if i do :)
Hi Dragonwhyr, I've given it a go on glass spraying the crackle first then spraying the colour over the top, it did nothing on the glass when i turned round :( I did give it another coat of crackle on top to see if it would do anything to the first layer of crackle but it didn't. I then sprayed a colour over the 2nd coat of crackle and it worked as it should and crack really nice :) So to be honest i'm not sure it would work on a lexan truck body, it may tho with it being a different material, or for it too crack it has to be put over a colour to work right, I hope you find this helpful :)
Master, and with a heat gun it doesn't work?
Can a heat gun be used to create the same effect instead of using a flame?
Hi Jose, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment and question I appreciate it :) It should be ok to use a heat gun but don't get to close to it or hold it in the same spot for to long else it will start to bubble the paint up, hope this helps :)
Hey man can you do the crackle effect with Krylon spray paint????
Hi Ben, Thank you for the question , I have never tried it with Krylon but i have try it on other makes and they all do the crackling effect , but they all look a little different from one and other , sorry i couldn't answer your question any better , But give it a try it might crackle really well , let me know how you get on with it :)
Jon Barber Art ok man thank you
You might can do color. Then go over with clear first then crackle. It should work. And Not waste so much color.
Hi Derrick, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the information, I really appreciate it :)
There's no heat guns in england hahahhhh fire!!!!!!
Hi Gaston, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, I really appreciate it :) lol not for me :P I am going to get one tho, A few people have told me they are good to use :) so i want to get one to give it a try :)
I'm trying to do this cracked effect only I'm trying to do it on a cement Lion statue and I'm trying to make it look white and gold. Please help
Hi Vincent, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the question I really appreciate it :) Do you want the cracks to be gold and then the rest of the lion white? if so you would have to paint it all gold first and then spray the white crackle over it, so when the white crackle's you will see the gold show up in the cracks , hope this is helpful :)
@@JonBarberArt Yes white with gold cracks. This was very helpful, Thank You so much! This is exactly what I needed to know :D Subbed and Liked
No problem Vincent, happy i could help :) Also thank you for the like and the support i really appreciate it :)
What about using a heat gun instead?
How does this work on plastic? Would it work if the surface is rounded (like a dome)? How tough is the surface? Would this be strong enough to use on something that would be handled a fair bit? (I'm looking to paint a keyboard) How high up off the surface are the crackle pieces/could a couple coats of clear top coat make this able to be smoothed and polished? Really cool effect.
Hi Brian, Thank you so much for watching, and for taking the time to leave this comment and question, I really appreciate it :) It should work on plastic i tried it on plexiglass and it worked ok, yes it should work on a round surface, should be strong enough with a few coats of clear coat, the crackle height will depend on how thick of a layer you put on, and yes it can be smoothed and polished after a few coats of clear coat, hope this helps.
Would a blow dryer work to speed up the process?
Hi Scott, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment and the question I really appreciate it :) I've never tried a blow dryer to dry my paint, but i suppose it would work to speed the process up :) Sorry i couldn't be more helpful.
I love your voice, where are you from? If you don't mind me asking.
Hi Klayman, Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment, feedback and question i appreciate it :) I'm from the UK.
@@JonBarberArt Nice, British or Welsh? if you don't mind me asking?
No problem Klayman i'm British.
Well. I used crackel effect spray on a Terra Cotta pot... Didn't get the crackel effect.. maybe the paint wasn't good... 😐
Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, I appreciate it :) i have never tried it on a terra cotta pot, it could of been the paint you used, some spray paint brands won't work with the crackle paint because of the formula in the paint.
WHAT IS IN THE CAN WITH THE FLAME?? SPRAY PAINT? HAIR SPRAY??
Hi Nicholas, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the question,I really do appreciate it :) The can i'm using with the flame is a can of clear coat, hope this helps :)
I heard spraying the crackle paint in small circles effects the way it crackles, do you have any idea if that's true?
Hi Julian, Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment and feedback and also the question it's really appreciated :) I haven't tired that and not heard that before but i'll give it ago and let you know :)
@@JonBarberArt i read that it helps the paint have a more defined break. I guess when it's being swirled and overlapped certain areas have more paint applied, as opposed to having the paint added in a linear spray
i use a heat gun.
Use a heat gun.
HI bRte, Thank you very much for watching, and for taking the time to leave this comment and suggestion, I really appreciate it :) I haven't tried a heat gun yet but i want to get one to give it a try tho :)
if you dont wanna set it on fire u can just use a heat gun lol
Hi Austin, Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment and suggestion I appreciate it :)
Ja, I also wanted to ask you if you are using a torch instead of a heat gun on purpose. Maybe the crackling with the heat gun has less effect. 😊 Great video, very scary to set painting on fire. I also use a torch for acrylic pouring, but it never burned so far. 😅
Can you use a heat gun
Hi Trev, Sorry for the late response, Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the question, I really appreciate it :) Yes you can use a heat gun to dry the paint, hope this helps :)
What about a heat gun 😂🤔🤔🤔
Hi Hate, Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment and suggestion I appreciate it :) I've not tried a heat gun on it, but i think i will have to give it a try, and see if it works better :)
Why you keep sayin white for blue?
Hi Daniel, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the question I really appreciate it :) It's because the blue i'm using is from the montana white range, so ive said the brand of the paint and not the colour in the can :)
Your a great painter, and a great teacher, but you do weird stuff with your hands when explaining things
Hi Steven, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the brilliant feedback, I really appreciate it :) Yes, in my older videos, sorry about that, it was a kind of habit i had where i would talk with my hands as well when talking :(
Couldn't you just use a heat gun and lower the risk of the paint catching on fire?
Hi Brispy, Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment, and the suggestion I really appreciate it :) Yes you can, i have made another video about crackle paint since i did this one and in that one i used a heat gun and i was surprised how well it work :)
I wanna watchb the video but darn man stop talking with your hands itdistracts from the video.
Hi Robert, Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment and feedback i appreciate it :) Yes sorry about the hands :( It's a bit of a habit i'm trying not to do in future video's , hopefully in time i'll stop all together talking with my hands :)
Its fine when you’re gesturing towards things you’re handling or referencing, but in the beginning your hands were not unlike dolphins porpoising out of the water lol.
