Step 3: Apply a coat of One Step Crackle Medium on the painted Surface. Size of cracks depends on the amount of crackle medium applied. Lesser the amount applied smaller the cracks. Avoid applying too much of Crackle medium.Let it dry for 30 mins -45 mins.

I have used Little Birdie-One Step Crackle Medium for best results,
