Description
The Annie Sloan Craqueleur Varnish is a set of two 125ml pots, one being the base coat and the other is the top coat.
One set consists of 1x 125ml Step 1 base coat and 1x 125ml Step 2 top coat.
To use: Apply a coat of Craqueleur Step 1 using a brush onto your surface and allow to dry. The thinner the coat, the finer the cracks. For larger cracks, apply thickly or two thin coats. Once dry, apply an even coat of Craqueleur Step 2. Dry gently with a hairdryer or place in a warm sunny position and cracks will start to appear. To emphasise the cracks use a dry cloth to rub in Dark or Black Chalk Paint® Wax or Gilding Wax. Wipe off excess with Clear Chalk Paint® Wax.
Wash brushes in water immediately after use.
Surfaces varnished with Craqueleur do not require further sealing.
You can achieve some wonderful effects, rather like those of the cracked varnish on an old master painting. The size of the cracks can be varied according to how fine a layer of the top coat is applied. The thinner it is, the smaller the cracks will be.
