Apply the base/primer first (white paste). Spread to a uniform thickness, no more than 2mm deep.

The base primer can be pigmented by adding acrylic paints, acrylic ink or resin pigments (no more than 20% addition by weight)

Any pigmenting of the base should be done before applying it to the substrate.The primer has excellent adhesion to materials such as canvas,wood,polystyrene,plastic,glass or metals. Not suitable to silicone or materials made with silicone.             

Paste application

Cover the primer with XL paste immediately afterwards (beige paste), apply wet on wet, can be spread up to a depth of 50mm

The XL Paste can be coloured by spraypainting or painting by brush. This can be done just after application, or after cracks appear

Allow a few hours for cracks to appear,thick sections will take longer (up to 2-3 days) for the cracking process to complete.

Apply the XL Paste in thick sections to create deeper and wider cracks. Higher ambient temperatures will speed the cracking process.               

Curing time - up to 2-3 days depending on thickness

Shelf life - 6 months in sealed containers                     

Kit size - 1.2kg - 800g paste and 400g primer (more sizes possible in the future)

The best results are achieved at temperatures of 18-25 degC
