Dixie Belle Crackle – Decorative Crackle Medium

Turn Back Time — One Crack at a Time

There's a certain magic in a piece that looks like it's been loved for generations. Dixie Belle Crackle is a decorative crackle medium that creates an authentically aged, timeworn finish on painted furniture, cabinets, and décor — giving your projects that perfectly imperfect, vintage soul that no amount of sanding can fake.

Layer it between paint coats to control the size of your cracks, build texture, and add incredible depth and dimension. Want bigger, more dramatic cracks? Apply thicker. Prefer a subtle, finely aged look? Go thin. You’re the artist here.

How to Use

1. Stir Dixie Belle Crackle well and apply over your base coat of paint. Do not thin the medium. The thicker the application, the larger the cracks. Use a cross-hatch brush stroke for erratic, wide, natural-looking results.
2. Allow the Crackle to completely dry (24 hours).
3. Apply a coat of your favorite Dixie Belle Paint in any color. DO NOT back-brush — this will disturb the crackling process.

For a natural wood look: apply one coat of Clear Coat first and allow to dry completely before applying Crackle.

Pro Tips

• Thick application = large, dramatic cracks
• Thin application = fine, subtle crackle texture
• Cross-hatch strokes = beautifully erratic, authentic-looking results
• Never back-brush once applied — let the Crackle do its thing!
