Ranger Ink Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint 3oz – TRANSLUCENT

Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint (Translucent) by Ranger Ink is a glossy, clear-drying medium that shrinks as it dries to create authentic, fine cracked effects.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Translucent Finish: Dries clear with a glossy finish, meaning your underlying stamped images, colors, and layers will show through beneath the cracks.
• Endless Color Possibilities: The paint is highly customizable. You can mix pigments or inks into the wet paste, or apply ink over the top once dried. Ink applied over the top tends to settle beautifully into the cracks.
• Controlled Texture: Thicker applications result in larger, more dramatic cracks, while spreading it thin creates subtle, delicate crazing.
• Versatile Use: Adheres brilliantly to paper, canvas, wood, chipboard, and plastic.

How to Use It

• Application: Spread the paint using a palette knife or brush. You can also swipe it through stencils for a raised, crackled shape.
• Drying: Allow the paint to air dry (usually takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the thickness and environment) to watch the cracks form naturally as moisture evaporates.
• Embellishing: Once completely dry, you can brush in Distress Inks, paints, or metallic waxes to highlight the texture.
