Decorative Painter’s China Crackle Enhancer-Light (DP-606) is a light-toned water-based highlight medium that, when used with darker crackled surfaces, enhances the crackles in the China Crackle system.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
All surfaces should be clean and non-absorbent. Seal porous surfaces with a clear water based sealer such as Modern Masters® Dead Flat Varnish or Satin Varnish. (Please see the Dead Flat Varnish and Satin Varnish Technical Data Sheets for more information.)

APPLICATION:
Step 1: Apply one coat of China Crackle Basecoat (DP-602) to the surface with a brush or low-nap roller. Let dry completely, approximately 20 to 40 minutes. Hint: The crackle base coat is dry once it feels slightly sticky to the touch but leaves no residue on the fingers.
Step 2: Apply one coat of China Crackle Topcoat (DP-604) with a brush. Apply evenly for a consistently cracked surface. Avoid brushing over an area twice (this may disrupt the crackle process). Let dry completely, approximately 1 to 2 hours. Once dry, the surface will be completely clear. Hint: A blow dryer set to medium heat may be used to speed up the drying time of steps 1 and 2. Hold the dryer at least 10 to 12 inches (20 to 30cm) away from the surface.
Step 3: Apply the desired color of China Crackle Enhancer (DP-605, Dark or DP-606, Light) with a soft clean cloth. Rub the color into the cracks. While the Enhancer is still wet, wipe the surface clean with a soft clean cloth. Choose the China Crackle Enhancer-Dark for lighter surfaces, and China Crackle Enhancer-Light for darker surfaces. Let dry completely, at least 1 hour.
Step 4 (Optional): Surfaces that will be handled should be protected with Modern Masters® Dead Flat Varnish or Satin Varnish. Follow the directions on the varnish container label.
