Delta CreativeCeramcoat Textile Medium Delta 2oz, 2 ounce

I used 1 bottle of this to cover one side of a standard door with a thick coat of crackle. This was my first time working with crackle paint and it was confusing to me at first but I am happy enough with the end product as crackle paint can be notoriously difficult to use. Here are some things I figured out mostly the hard way. This goes UNDER the top coat of paint that you want to look crackly. This is clear and glossy. If you want the base another color you have to paint that first and let it dry completely. I applied this on a 1960's wood hollow core door. I did no surface prep either and for now it is sticking well enough but I would advise surface prep for long term use. I wanted large weathered crackles for a more rustic look as opposed to tiny cracks so I put on a very thick coat. If you want THIN fine cracks then put on a THIN coat. If you want the crackles consistently the same size then try to make the crackle paint consistent in thickness. (this may seem obvious but I didn't do that and my crackles are inconsistent sizes. I like to think of it as "rustic"!) The crackle kind of beaded and clumped together on the door (tried to get a picture of it). I used a 4 inch bristle brush. Then the tricky part- waiting the right amount of time until the paint is "tacky" or sticky but not dry. I waited around 20 minutes when it was warm with very high humidity. Pay close attention because it goes from tacky to dry (and therefore useless) very quickly. Then I painted a thin top coat of ivory latex paint over it. It started to crackle immediately which was cool to watch and the crackles continued to enlarge and increase until the paint was dry. Was a fun easy fix for an ugly door. No it's not perfect but I intend to replace it eventually but custom doors can be expensive and crackle paint is not! Any way some final advice is- Paint the brush strokes in the direction you want most of the lines to go in both the crackle and the topcoat. Use a dropcloth the top coat drips off the crackle a lot. And if you have enough paint I would try experimenting with thickness of crackle and drying times by practicing on another surface first before you try your final project. Crackle paint is really an art not a science! Good luck happy painting!

Worked fabulously exactly what I ordered very happy with purchase

I would buy this again. It worked great for my fabric project and did not bleed or fade. I am very happy I found it

I used this on furniture for a little girls room and it’s beautiful. Adds lots of sparkle . Dilute it with a little water to make it easier to apply .

Used for fabric on t-shirts with acrylic paint is held up so far.

Made a kiss shirt by using this and mixing with acrylic paint and it worked! Have plenty left over!

It is not too thick and do not need a lot of coatings. Love the quality.

I used this with some acrylic paint in order to paint the cloth-covered boxes that look like books. Easy to use and works great!
