Looks best when applied to a rough surface.Do not expose paint to rain or splashing with water. Our paint is water soluble and the effects of painting will be lost by washing in water or handling with wet hands.If the effect does not form, try first sealing the surface with varnish. The paint can be applied to painted surfaces, but test first. Do not apply to porous/absorbent surfaces such as bare timber or paper. Only apply to non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal.Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and grease free. Test the paint on hidden surfaces before use to ensure compatibility and adhesion.Or, after painting dab the wet or dry paint with a wet brush. Or to lighten the colour, apply paint to a surface with a damp/wet brush. Do not add water into the paint pot, it’s best tip a little paint into a separate pot and then add small amounts of water. Evaporation with cause the liquid to thicken and the colour to darken. Replace the lid quickly during use to prevent the liquid from evaporating. Thoroughly shake with the ball bearing rattling and stir before each and every use. The mixture will settle on the bottom of the pot.Do not let the paint fully harden onto brush. Always clean the brush in water or methylated spirit straight after use (not white spirit).It is very difficult to remove the lumps if the liquid is cool or cold. Repeatedly stir and shake the pot until all lumps have gone. Tip: keep the pot in your pocket against your skin for an hour before use and shake regularly with the ball bearing rattling. The colour could dry dark if the surface is too hot or too cold.

We used to sell this product under the brand name “Modelmates” Rust Effect – its the same product but now with Dirty Down on the label. Rust effect paint looks best when applied to rough, textured surfaces. Always keep the gun perpendicular to the paint surface and sweep at a medium pace.Video demonstration kindly supplied by Goblin’s Hut See more images at bottom of pageĪpply rust paint by brush or airbrush/sprayer.Sweep the gun back and forth 6 to 8 inches from the object you are painting.provide a solid mist of paint droplets, but not so much volume that the paint begins to run.Adjust the fluid control knob to handle the increased or decreased fan speed.Use the fan adjustment knob on the rear of the gun to fine tune the spray to meet your needs (i.e., if you are getting runs, adjust the fan speed faster to achieve higher paint atomization or turn the speed lower to achieve a thicker initial coat).To obtain consistent results and achieve uniform cracking on larger areas application with HVLP spray is recommended.If cissing persists wipe surface free of glaze and rub down with detergent and dry well.Alternatively take a damp lint free cloth and rub the glaze hard into the surface – brush through with glaze again. Glaze pulls back – rejects the surface – brush through repeatedly with pressure on the brush.Cracking occurs immediately as the paint dries, revealing the base colour through the cracks.Leave to dry for 24 hours and protect with Polyvine Decorators Varnish.The thickness of the topcoat determines the size of the cracks – the thicker the coat the wider the cracks. Do not over brush this will mix the glaze and paint and no cracks will appear. Lay off with a good quality brush, load brush with generous amount of paint and apply in one pass only.Apply at right angles to the crackle glaze coat.Apply the topcoat of matt emulsion/latex, thinned with 10% water to produce an easily flowing paint.The coat must be smooth and even, if not remove the glaze with a damp cloth, and reapply working it into the surface before laying off to a smooth even coat. Apply the crackle glaze in one direction with a good quality brush.Choose the colour of emulsion/latex paint, one (satin) for the base coat – the colour of the cracks, the other.Walls and vertical surfaces need a lot of Always try the technique on a test piece before starting the project.Seal porous surfaces ensure Polyvine Acrylic Crackle Glaze is well mixed.Highly effective and very easy to apply, water based with virtually no odour and quick drying. Ideal for use on furniture, skirting, pottery, picture frames.
