The Distress Crackle Paste – Opaque by Tim Holtz for Ranger is a thick, opaque texture paste that dries to reveal authentic crackle patterns — ideal for achieving vintage, weathered effects.
Apply it with a palette knife or through a stencil on paper, wood, canvas, or chipboard. As it dries, it naturally cracks, creating a distressed look that can be enhanced with inks, paints, or waxes once dry.
The result varies depending on the application thickness: thin layers create fine cracks, while thicker ones produce deeper, more dramatic effects.
It’s acid free, non-toxic, and suitable for both professional artists and hobby crafters.
