What it does:
Creates a crackled texture as it dries on rigid surfaces
Dries to a hard, opaque finish
Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality

Leave to dry for at least 24 hours before painting over
Cracking will vary depending on how thickly you apply it - the effects will be more obvious on thicker applications but will take longer to dry
