You can't help but be fascinated by the way this crackle effect screen printing ink re-creates a really effective 'vintage look'. The SFXC Crackle '2 part system' is a water based product that's ready to use whenever you are!

To start, apply the first coat (Self Crack Underbase). This needs to be printed as a fairly thick layer, then 'flash cured' until dry to the touch. It is possible to colour the underbase using coloured pigments (up to 6%), although the original white gives an amazing crackled effect all by itself.

Secondly, apply the ready to use 'Self Crack' topcoat. If you use less ink, the cracks will be smaller, if you use more ink the cracks will be larger. For best results we recommend you apply a medium to thick layer.  When you have completed your printing you will need to dry out the item or garment for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes at a temperature of 165c (330F).
