Decorative effects – Craquelure

This high-quality Polyvine product produces a cracked varnish effect for a traditional aged finish.

By using a simple two part (base coat and top coat) clear acrylic system, this varnish faithfully reproduces the regular crazed pattern associated with old porcelain glazes, just like in the project pictured.

The crackle effect produced by craquelure can be accentuated with a crack highlighter, available in either white or dark brown for a truly aged finish.

Please note that you need to buy both the base coat and the top coat to create the effect.

Want to see how the crackle happens?  Just watch!
