Ranger - Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint

Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint

Create dimensional crackle effects you can tint before or after drying

Blend Distress Inks or Stains directly into the wet paint for tinted crackles, or apply color over dried cracks to settle pigment into the fissures for dramatic contrast.

This approach gives you complete control over the final effect. Leave it clear for subtle texture, tint it while wet for colored vintage glass effects, or apply darker colors after drying to emphasize every crack. The gloss finish adds dimension that catches light, making the crackle pattern more pronounced from different viewing angles. Works over painted surfaces, collaged papers, and dimensional embellishments where you want that authentic weathered look.

The 3-ounce jar provides enough paint for multiple projects while the wide mouth makes application easy with brushes, palette knives, or direct spreading. Part of the Distress line designed specifically for layering with other Ranger products, though it performs equally well with any water-based media in your mixed media arsenal.
