Wall Decor Pentart Cream Paste for Cracked Effect is a cream paste designed to create striking cracked surfaces in art projects. For optimal results, always use it with the matching crackle-effect primer, Base Primer for Cracked Surface Effect, which ensures good adhesion and creates attractive cracks. The paste can be applied in a thin layer with a roller, but the best results are achieved with a masonry trowel or spatula. The thickness of the applied layer affects the shape and depth of the cracks, with a thicker layer creating more pronounced effects. The paste dries relatively quickly, in approximately 2-3 hours, during which time the cracks form. Before use, the paste can be tinted to pastel shades with Pentart coloring pastes, or, once completely dry, it can be easily recolored or coated with Wall Decor glazes. Wall Decor Cream Paste is also compatible with Wall Decor Structural Paste and Wall Decor Concrete Effect Filler, allowing for broader creative use. Once dry, the surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth. This product is ideal for artists, designers, and craftspeople who want to give their creations a unique cracked look.

Apply the primer generously with a brush or roller and leave it to dry completely, until it is clear and glossy.

Thin or thick layers

The thickness of the applied layer determines the shape and depth of the cracks. The paste can be applied in a thin layer with a roller, but a trowel or palette knife works best.
