Thank you for clarifying crackle mediums. I was nervous about trying them and you just eased my mind. Thanks again.
Hi Darla! You're welcome and I'm happy you enjoyed this video! I'm so happy to have eased your mind a little bit. There are so many different types of crackle and they all turn out completely different. If you ever have any questions, just let me know. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖
Thank you for this! I’ve watched other videos but didn’t really get a good feel for what would work best for me. Yours made it clear: Pentart Fine Crackle for me!
Hi there! Thank you and I'm happy you enjoyed this video! The Fineline Crackle is totally my favorite too. I use it a lot. I just love the old cracked porcelain look. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖
Thanks so much

I love using Pentart's 2 Part Fine Line Crackle Varnish, it gives craft projects a great vintage look. I've never used oil paint to highlight the cracks, but I do use eye shadow powder for the same effect, especially because eye shadow has mica powder in it. I also use Dixie Belle's 'Dirt' which is a pigment that's made for antiquing furniture, but it's also perfect for using over the Fine Line Crackle Varnish. I live in Melbourne, Australia BTW. Thanks for a great video tutorial. Love from Amanda Jones ❤️
Hi Amanda! Thank you and I'm happy you enjoyed this video! Give the oil paint a try sometime. Since it comes in colors, you can get really creative with your finishes.
I'm going to leave you a link to a video that I used the Fineline Crackle and some colored oil paint to antique. I think you'll like it! Let me know what you think. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖

Thank you I may need to try some of these I've only used Folk Art crackle medium and hide glue
Hi Sheryl, If you try any of them, try the Pentart fineline crackle. It's one of my favorites. I use that one all the time. I just found a new supplier for it. Until now, it's been so darn hard to find. I'll leave you a link in case you want to try it. The link is safe 😊 I'm also going to leave a link for a project where I used it.

What would we do without your invaluable information. You know I have so much trouble with crackling, even when I follow the directions. You’ve taken the guesswork out of the equation by showing the names of the products, how to prepare the surface, painting and which types to use, antiquing and various types of crackles. My favorite is the porcelain look. It’s so rich and antique looking. Can’t thank you enough for your help. I will keep this video forever as my Crackle Bible! All your work and help is so greatly appreciated by me and I’m sure many others.
Hi there Gizmo my friend! I'm so glad to hear that you found this video valuable and helpful. There are so many crackle methods and each one of them has such a different end result. I thought I'd do a video explaining how to use each one and what you can expect to see on your project. I can remember being very confused at one time. I was using the classic crackle and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. What I wanted was the end result that the fineline crackle gives you. By the way, that is my all time favorite as well. I love how it looks like aged porcelain. I use that one A LOT! lol... Let me know if there are any other crafting techniques that you'd like me to do an in depth video on, like this one. I was thinking of doing one explaining exactly how to do the water method decoupage. Any interest in that? I think you said you were having problems with that one. As always, thanks for being such a wonderful fan and friend! And thanks for always watching and taking time to message me 🥰😘🤗
@@masoncreationsetc I WILL ALWAYS WATCH YOUR VIDEOS! I know I’m always getting the best of everything when I do. Think I’ve seen the water method of decoupage from your video, but it never hurts to learn more, and I learn so much from you all the time. You’re the teacher, I’m the student hoping to become as good as you!
Hi there! You are so sweet 😘😘😘 I was also thinking of doing an in depth video on the paper bead rolling as well. There is so much you can do with those. They're a lot of fun to make.
@@masoncreationsetc speaking of paper rolling; the other day, I had to sharpen my eyeliner pencil, and what to my surprise, but what came out was a little rolled piece of the wood that looked like a tiny Rose, and depending on the color of the stick, that color lines the very top of the Rose. Now the size of the rose depends on the size of the crayon that you’re using or the eyebrow or liner stick, and therefore would need a bigger hole to trim it, so the rose would be bigger. Does that sound crazy? I haven’t tried Dowel rods yet in those sharpeners, but that’s my next adventure. There may be occasions where a small flower would be appropriate instead of buying artificial ones in the store that cost money. I’m still trying to figure out how my crazy brain works, and how it always cost me more time and labor. I just recently learned, that my first grand-dog went “over the rainbow”Wednesday before Easter, an expression i’ve never heard of before, but thought was so beautiful, and that brought another thought into my crazy mind. Can you create a plaque for a dog that has gone “over the rainbow”? I hope that’s not too crazy challenging for you, but I have all the faith in the world that you’ll come up with something so beautiful and heartwarming. Our pets are just like our children, and she was a miniature pincher and quite a feisty little lady! I bought a rectangular wooden plaque in Walmart, but haven’t started anything yet. Hoping I can get more inspiration from you. Thanks!
Oh goodness, I love the idea of the little roses! You could do that with colored pencils. Once you glue it together, you could paint and antique them. I'd add them to lots of crafts. I think that would be so cute. Little mini roses 🌹 I can definitely do an "over the rainbow" plaque. I think that would be so beautiful. Pictures of dogs and rainbows 💕🐶🌈

Oh hi there Dia! Thanks so much and I'm so glad this video was helpful for you. Did you see the new rock video that released today? Thanks for always watching 😊💖
This was really helpful! I have several crackle products that I haven't dared to try, and I've had some of the Pentart in my cart that I haven't pulled the trigger on yet. Thanks for the info! ~Velvet
Hi Velvet! Thank you and I'm happy you enjoyed this video! I'm going to leave you a link for the Pentart fineline crackle, is that the one you wanted? You'll need a solvent based antique and varnish. I'm going to leave you links for both of them as well. Now I'm using something different than what I used in the video. Only because it's better. Just be aware that since the varnish is solvent based, you'll need turpentine to clean your brush. Put some in a small glass jar and soak your brush overnight, then clean with soap and water. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖

Hi Bonnie, I'm going to leave you a link for a video showing how to use the Fineline Crackle over decoupage. It's the best choice to put over decoupage since it leaves large cracks.

Stumbled across it accidentally and really enjoyed your video. I have a question. What solvent based varnishes you’re using to cover and what solvent-based cleaners are you using to clean your brushes with the fine line crackle Pentart brand products? Thank
Hi there! I'm so glad you stumbled across my channel and I'm happy you enjoyed this video! The solvent based varnish I use is by Winsor & Newton. I normally use it in gloss. I just use plain ole ordinary paint thinner to clean my brushes. I pour a little bit of it in a glass jar and keep it for cleaning any brushes that I've used that require a solvent. The Pentart Fine Line Crackle varnish is actually water based and will clean up with soap and water. I use Speedball pink soap to clean brushes that have been used for water based products. I'm going to leave you a couple links below for those 2 products. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖

@@masoncreationsetc thanks for taking the time to reply I appreciate it. I am aware of the Pentart one, any others maybe that I can get from a hardware store or art supply store near me? Blessings
I have used one called Winsor and Newton. I was able to find it at Hobby Lobby. Give that one a try. Any solvent based varnish should work just fine 😊
Can the fineline be used on a tumbler with mica powder and then epoxy after?
Hi Debbie
I have never tried epoxy over the fineline crackle. However epoxy is not water based, so it should work fine. Water based products will ruin the crackle. You can definitely use the mica powder. I use it all the time with the fineline crackle. I would try it on a sample piece of something first and make sure the epoxy works. I wouldn't try it on your project until you are confident it works well. I save empty jam jars or pickle jars to try things on. I never try something new on my actual project until I know it works 😊 Let me know how it does, I'd love to know. And I'd love to see pictures. I have several followers that email me pictures of their projects. I absolutely LOVE seeing them. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 💖

Tim from San Diego here with a question. I'm using FolkArt crackle medium on a project. Will I get the good crackle effect if I use a rattle can to spray the top color over the Crackle medium? The spray paint is an acrylic. I'm using a spray because I want to end up with a smoother surface than if I used a brush on top coat. Thanks very much!
Hi Tim, I normally use acrylic or latex paint. I haven't ever tried using spray paint. But it's paint, so it should work, but I'm not sure. I would try it on a little sample and see what happens. Please let me know if you do try it.
I'd love to know if it works. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖
Hi, love love love your tutorials. I started to up cycle glass. Now I would like to make a gold vase with a crackle effect.
Another one also painted gold with gold leaf. Please advise me how to get the crackle on a gold color. Ty ❤
Hi Jutta! Thank you so much and I'm happy you're enjoying my videos! You can do a gold crackle with gold paint. You won't be able to do it with gold leaf. I'm going to leave you a link below with a project that I did a crackle with gold paint. Also, glass can pose a problem with paint peeling. I'm going to leave you a link for a 2nd video that shows you how to paint glass so that it doesn't peel. Please look at the top comment on that video, where I added an alternative to using spray sealer. Let me know if you have any questions at all.

Thank you so much !! I have seen your video with the spray sealer after the first coat of paint. One more question: what brand of gold paint are you using ?
I can’t find one that has a good coverage❤️
In your suggested video you are using a gold paint. I bought a few different ones but all very disappointing even after 3 layers. Which one are you recommending??
Ty for all your help!!
Hi Jutta, I use Pentart gold paint. All their metallic paints are incredible. One coat usually does it. Here's a link

Very informative video. You have a nice voice. I want to crackle paint a metal light fixture. Can I apply a crackle right to th metal without painting it first? So you have ny suggestions?
Hi Virginia! Thank you and I'm happy you enjoyed this video! If you want it to look like the metal is cracked you don't have to paint it first. However, I would definitely add a clear primer.
Polyvine multi surface lacquer in a matte finish is perfect for that. If you want to paint it a color, make sure you add the Polyvine multi surface lacquer prior to the paint. I'll leave a link for you below so you can find it easily. Let me know if you have any other questions. Which crackle are you going to use? If you're going to use the Fineline crackle, you need to make sure you only use solvent based products afterwards. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖

Hello I think I would need your help about The pentart crackle varnish.
I bought it for my craft but no crakles are appearing even if I followed the guidelines.
Do you know why?
I applied the two components on rice paper
I'm looking forward to seeing your answer.
Thank you again for your help
Jenn
Hi Jenn, It may need a little heat. Did you try a blow dryer for a few minutes? Sometimes the cracks are there, but they're hard to see. Heat will bring them out.
Just a couple troubleshooting questions: Did you let component #1 dry completely before adding component # 2? Component #1 needs to turn complete clear before moving to the next component. Have you added any antiquing yet? Give it a try, the cracks may appear. Did you get Fineline crackle or Classic crackle? Each one will react differently to the type of antique you use. Fineline requires a solvent based antique, such as oil paint. Classic will need a water based antique. Let me know if you need any additional help. If it's cold and damp where you are, it may just need some heat, try the blow dryer. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖
Do you have any techniques to use with acrylic ink
Hi Tracy, I don't have anything using acrylic ink. But it's something to think about for a future video. I like it a lot.
Reminds me of water paints. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖
Can you mix some glue in with one of the on step crackle mediums for a different kind of crackle? I've tried so many brands and have had such terrible luck and it makes no sense, I do what the directions say and.... nada. I have Mont Marte crackle paste now and I want to add some crackle to a canvas art piece I'm working on with my own drawings as decoupage, other decoupage, moge poge, glaze and an assortments of paints. Too much going on? I just want it in certain areas, maybe around the edges.
Hi Leslie, I don't think you can ever have too much when it comes to art. I love doing mixed media with tons of stuff to look at. Yes, you can mix glue with the crackle systems.
Here's a video where I did just that. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖

Hi Mariana, The two jars come as a set. The set includes step one and step two. I'll leave you a link below so you can easily find it. That's my favorite crackle effect. I actually use it a lot. Let me know if you have any questions. Also, please remember that you have to use a solvent based varnish and antique with this product. Anything water based will ruin your finish.

Hi! I used glue 2 parts to 1 part water. Im using a wood surface and a porcelein one that has been decoupaged. So i did a base color of black then added the glue mix on top ..i let it dry for 5 minutes and then used white acrylic paint on top. It didnt turn out how i wanted it..the decoupaged didnt do anything..the wood looks kinda distressed but no real crack or very few..im disappointed. So can i go over it with a crackle medium instead of glue? Help! Thank you!! 😊😊😊
Hi Carol. If you're going to use the glue crackle method, do not water down the glue. Use it straight out of the container.
Don't let the glue dry at all, paint your contrasting color right over the wet glue. This is only meant to be used between two layers of paint. It won't work over top of a decoupaged image. If you want cracks on your decoupaged image, you'll need to use Pentart Fineline Crackle. And then you can only use solvent based antiques and varnishes. I'll leave you some links for these products. I'm also going to leave you a link for a video where I used the Fineline crackle over a decoupaged image. This shows you step by step how to do it. Let me know if you have any questions at all. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖

Hi there, how can I crackle an already finished oil painting?
Or at least give a thin crackle effect?
Hi there, I would say the best result would be the Pentart fineline crackle system. It will give you really fine delicate cracks. However, I'm not really positive how it will work over oil paints, as I've never tried it. Once you use that crackle system you cannot use any water based varnishes or antiques over top of it. Only solvent based sealers, in matte or glossy. You can use dark brown oil paint as your antiquing medium to accent your cracks. I'll leave you some links as well as a link to a video where I used this crackle system and used oil paint as my antiquing medium. Let me know how it turns out, and I'd love to see pictures. I'll leave you my email address in case you like to share your results with me. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖

I'm trying to make a "waterfall" of lava and a "river" of lava. I think a nice red paint with black crackle paint on top will do the trick for the "river". Never did it before though. What should I buy? The cracks shown in this video don't look like hot lava... I heard good things about Citadel Technical: Mordant Earth. Are you familiar with that crackle paint?
Greetings from Gouda, The Netherlands
Hi Melvin, That sounds really cool. I'd love to see pictures when you complete this project. I'll leave you my email address below, if you'd like to share. I've not used the two you named, but I'm going to leave you a couple of links for a some crackle that should do what you need. Either one should work well for you. But the first one you should be able to add a lot of swirling texture.
1. Ranger Crackle Texture paste- paint the background black and let dry, mix red paint with the crackle paste to put over top and let dry. As it dries the cracks will appear. . It will crack and the black will show through. This not only gives you cracks, but will add swirls of texture as well.
2. FolkArt one step crackle- paint background black and let dry, paint crackle medium and let dry, paint red and it will start cracking immediately.

I was going to try the napkin method with this adorable pumpkin id taken from a get together. I very specifically told my miscreant bf that i was saving it for a specific special project and hung it carefully on the side of the fridge thats away from the rest of the kitchen. The Arsehole used it and threw it in the trash. The ONLY way to do thàt is to specifically do it on purpose. Theres a stack of napkin in a drawer right where the fridge opens.
Oh no! I'm so sorry you lost your napkin. I'm leaving you a link below of an online store that I trust completely. They have amazing rice papers and napkins. It's where I purchase all my supplies. They sell their napkins one at a time. Let me know if you find anything adorable and get your creation made!

Gladly watching from the Cowboy Capital of the World, Bandera Tx.
Hi Lucy, Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message all the way from the Cowboy Capital 😊💖🤠
I’ve been trying to do a crackle on my cupboards. I bought a white matte acrylic paint for the base. Then I put the crackle paint, let it dry. Then I put the top coat which is a dark grey acrylic, but it doesn’t crack. But when reverse the colours with white on the top it cracks beautifully. Totally confused 🤔
Hi Cheryl, that's really odd. Some of the crackle paints are a chemical reaction that makes them crack. My guess would be that there's something in the grey paint that prevents it from cracking. Try a different brand of paint. I would definitely get some small pieces of wood from Dollar Tree and do a bunch of test samples on those before experimenting on your cupboards. Good luck! I hope you can find something that will work. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖
I recently bought Pentart fine line 2 step crackle varnish and after a week my item is still tacky. I followed all the instructions so would be grateful for any advice you may have. Thank you
Hi Debra, I'm not sure why, I've never had that happen. Normally the fineline crackle turns out beautiful. I let step 2 dry for a few hours then use a blow dryer to deepen the cracks. Did you use antiquing afterwards to enhance the cracks? Was it water based? If so, that would cause a problem. It needs to be solvent based, which means, you would need to clean your brushes with paint thinner and not water. Also, you need to seal it afterwards with a solvent based clear varnish. Either paint on or spray on. Let me know your steps exactly and what products you used, so I can guide you 😊 Thanks for watching and sending me a message 💖😊
Hi, thank you so much for your reply. I used Pentart Liquid Patina to enhance the cracks - used a cloth to apply and rub off.
Hi Debra, That's solvent based so you're good there. Maybe that's what is staying sticky. I've never used Pentart Liquid Patina, but I spray all my projects with a clear varnish in either a gloss or matte. You may want to try that, it should get rid of the sticky feel. I would try it on a sample something first. Do all the same steps and then try the spray varnish and see what happens. I hate trying something new on my actual project, just in case. I'll leave you links for the two that I use. Please let me know how it turns out. 😊

Thank you so much for your help. I haven't sealed it yet as I was waiting for the stickiness to go, but I'll follow your advice and see if that works. Many thanks for your help. I've subscribed and enjoyed watching your other lovely videos. Love from the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Hi Debra, I have a feeling that the patina just stays sticky. Hopefully sealing it will work. Let me know. You're very welcome and thanks so much for subscribing, I love making new crafty friends. I'm happy to see that you're enjoying other videos as well💖😊
I would like instructions to crackle wood sewing machine drawer I want the old wood to show through the crackle . I have school glue to crackle with
Hi Debbie
Unless you paint the wood sewing machine drawer, you won't get a very good crackle effect. In order to crackle properly there needs to be 3 layers. Paint, crackle and then paint again. I just did a quick test to see if I could get it to work on bare wood. The Folkart crackle didn't crack at all. The Elmer's school glue gave minimal cracks that were very tiny. My suggestion would be to paint the drawer, when dry add the Elmer's glue. While the glue is still wet, add your contrasting color. Definitely do this section at a time. It dries fast and will be hard to do it all at once. The Folkart Crackle Medium will produce a more even crackle when doing a large area. For this one paint the drawer, when dry add the crackle medium and let that dry. Then add your contrasting paint color. Work this one in sections as well. Let me know if you have any other questions. You may want to buy some wood blanks from the dollar store to experiment on. Don't experiment on your drawer, wait until you know exactly what the plan is.

Do you prime first
Hi there, It depends on what I'm painting. If I'm working on a canvas I always prime with Gesso before painting. If working on glass, ceramic, plastic or any shiny surface I prime with Polyvine multi surface lacquer. It will stop any chipping, peeling or scratching. It's an amazing product. I'll leave you a link below. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to send me a message 😊💖
