Crackle Lacquer creates a quick antique crackle-like finish when applied over a contrasting gloss such as Mohawk Colored Lacquer. For example, black over white yields white visible in the cracks or clear over white simulates an antique white enamel finish. Effective only when a wet coat is applied with a spray gun over conventional gloss lacquer finish.
Designed for interior use only. It must be clear coated for protection.
Advantages:
- Quick results
- Self controlled results
- Can be glazed for antique effect
Directions:
Crackle Lacquer is ready to spray without reduction. Crackle Lacquer should be applied in a continuous wet coat with one pass of high wet film thickness. To achieve the proper CRACKING effect, the Crackle Lacquer must be applied on top of a nitrocellulose lacquer such as our M610-2580 Finisher’s Choice™ Clear Lacquer. The CRACKLE EFFECT is affected by time – the longer the time between the Finisher’s Choice™ Clear Lacquer application and the Crackle Lacquer application, the smaller the crackle will be.
We recommend that a topcoat of M610-2580 Finisher’s Choice™ Clear Lacquer be applied over the thoroughly dry Crackle Lacquer to seal and protect the finish.
