Review: Crackle affect for all multimedia artists! - This paste works! Ive used this paste multiple times to create a cracked affect on ice. Very realistic. I recently painted a series of works using the paste to create some great stone affects. Sanding lightly also gives a wonderful soft look too. This is a fantastic tool for every artist. Highly recommend.
Review: Brilliant product - This product is so much fun. I love it. I find it inspires me too, in a very childlike art project kinda way. I've used it on paper, plastic and wood all with great results and no delamination. I was very happy to learn it is archival too. This will be in my art supply cabinet for life. Of note: texture is similar to marshmallow paste. I was not expecting it to be so fluffy. It's fine, I just thought I would mention it in case you think it's going to be more like a gel medium

## Questions & Answers

**Q: has anyone used this on polymer clay? and if so, did you use before or after you baked ?**
A: I have used this product both ways with polymer clay ... both work great!  The advantage of using it on raw clay ... after letting it dry (overnight is best), you can gently bend and manipulate the clay to help the cracks along! You can apply alcohol inks either before or after baking ... seal with something like Alene's Pendant gel after you are done coloring and baking for a beautiful finish.

**Q: Is there any clear crackling paste or medium that can be used over an existing oil painting?**
A: I am unaware of any oil-based crackle medium, unfortunately.

**Q: Can you manipulate the size of the cracks?  I am interested in getting large, chunky blocks, not a shattered look.**
A: The only way you can manipulate the size of the cracks is by manipulating the amount of paste you apply.  The thicker the application, the larger the cracks, however the product is more apt to break off when it dries if applied too thick.

**Q: Can this be painted before drying?**
A: Best results to get a good cracking pattern is to allow it to dry first, then paint over it. It all depends on how you want the cracking patterns - larger block cracks vs. a 'shatter' look, results in the quantity of material (thickness of layer) applied, and how much moisture is contained within it. If you add more water-based paint onto the top of the surface at the time of drying, you will change how the cracking will develop over the surface.
