Step into the world of timeless elegance with the Polyvine Coat Craquelure System, a two-part fine crackle varnish that recreates the charm of antique surfaces. This water-based, low-odour system uses a combination of Base Coat and a Top Coat, each sold separately, to produce the delicate decorative glaze crazing patterns reminiscent of aged porcelain glazes. For the full effect to work, both products must be applied together, but you can choose to purchase either the base coat or top coat individually to suit your project. Ideal for decorative finishes, decoupage, small objects, and picture frames, this crackle finish paint is a quick-drying varnish, taking between 15 minutes and 1 hour depending on temperature, and easy to apply. The cracked paint effect can be accentuated with a white or dark brown crack highlighter, such as Polyvine Craquelure Highlighter sold separately, creating a beautifully aged, authentic look. Water wash-up ensures a simple clean-up, while coverage of up to 8 square metres per litre makes it efficient for a range of projects. Available in 100ml, 500ml, and 1 litre sizes, you can select the size and component that best suits your needs. Perfect for creative crafters and DIY enthusiasts, the Polyvine Craquelure system can be used on wood, MDF, canvas, ceramics, terracotta, glass, metal, and even paper or cardboard projects. A versatile upcycling effect, it brings new life to furniture, decorative trays, handmade signs, mixed media art, miniature models, and more adding a professional, antique finish to virtually any surface. Whether you choose to experiment with one coat or complete the full two-part system, the Polyvine Craquelure for ceramics, furniture and more, brings professional-quality antique finishes to your home or workshop with ease.
