ASK ANDY
Q: How much Fluid Acrylics can I add to the crackle mediums when tinting them? -- Cracked in Hampstead
A: Dear Cracked, I would recommend no more than 20%. If you add too much it will stop the crackle reaction, I
normally stick at around 10%, remember the tinting strength of the fluid acrylics is high, just 10%
will give you good color. If you want a very deep color both the crackle paint and paste can be painted once dry.
