Our take on the Vallejo Acrylic Paint, Crackle

Vallejo Crackle Medium is a water-based acrylic medium in a 17 mL dropper bottle. Brushed between two coats of acrylic paint, it dries and splits the top coat into a cracked, weathered surface. It suits modelers, miniature painters and hobbyists who want aged paint, rust or worn plaster effects without carving or sanding. Compared with dedicated texture pastes and crackle glazes from other hobby brands, it is a thin medium that works with the paints you already own rather than a self-colored effect product, so results depend on coat thickness and drying time.

Questions and answers

How do I use Vallejo Crackle Medium?
Apply a base coat of acrylic paint and let it dry. Brush on the medium, let it dry, then apply a thicker top coat of acrylic paint. The top coat cracks as it dries.
Does the top coat color matter?
Yes. The base coat shows through the cracks, so a dark base under a lighter top coat gives a worn, weathered look.
How thick should the top coat be?
Thicker coats give larger cracks and thinner coats give finer or no cracks. Apply it more heavily than a normal paint layer and avoid brushing over it once it starts to set.
Is it water-based?
Yes. It is a water-based acrylic medium, so brushes and tools clean up with water before the medium dries.
Can I use it over any acrylic paint?
It is designed to sit between two coats of acrylic paint. Results vary with the paint brand and how flexible the dried film is.
