Achieve Authentic Antique Finishes Naturally
Natural Crackle Paint Finish by RMP Finishes is a collagen-based crackle medium that produces a stunning, weathered look without synthetic additives. It dries clear with a satin sheen and can be applied with a brush or roller between layers of Real Milk Paint® to create your desired effect.
Unlike chalk-based crackle paints that can fail or flake unpredictably, Natural Crackle delivers consistent, controllable results — from subtle, aged texture to deep, dramatic fractures that reveal your chosen base color underneath.
Key Benefits
- Natural and safe: Non-toxic, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly.
- Fast drying: 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness.
- Versatile look: Thin for fine lines, or apply thick for bold “alligator” cracks.
- Strong adhesion: Bonds to wood, milk paint, varnish, metal, glass, drywall, and more.
- Flexible use: Can double as a glue for wood, leather, or paper projects.
- Durable finish: Dries to a clear, satin sheen that enhances paint depth.
- Freeze-thaw stable: Stays usable season after season.
- Easy maintenance: Water-based cleanup, no odor once dry.
