The DecoArt Weathered Wood Medium is a one-step crackle medium that makes it easy to achieve realistic, time-worn effects. Use it on any surface that accepts acrylic paint — wood, papier mâché, ceramic, paper, cardboard, or resin — and pair it with any DecoArt acrylic, transparent or opaque.
Depending on your application technique, you can create vertical, horizontal, or irregular crackles, from fine hairline textures to bold, wide cracks — giving every piece a unique vintage finish.

👉 How to use:
1. Paint your surface with a base coat and let it dry completely.
2. Apply Weathered Wood Medium and allow it to partially dry.

💡 Inspiration tips:
- For vertical crackles, apply Weathered Wood with vertical brushstrokes.
- For horizontal crackles, use horizontal strokes.
- For irregular patterns, apply with a sponge in multiple directions.
- The thicker the coat, the larger the crackles; a thin layer creates a finer, subtle effect.
