About product

What effect the paste creates

A paste in a light version that, once applied and dried, cracks by itself and divides the surface into irregular plates. The result is the look of dried mud, the bed of a drained channel, cracked earth in a field or dry soil in the ruts left by heavy vehicles. The cracks form on their own, so you do not have to scribe them with a tool and the result does not look regular.

How it is applied

The base has to be dry and firm. Apply the paste with a brush or a spatula to the area you want to crack and then leave it alone; every pass over a drying layer disturbs the pattern of the cracks. How fine or coarse the cracks turn out is related to the thickness of the applied layer, so it pays to make a test on a piece of card and to check the recommended thickness and drying time with the manufacturer. Do not speed the drying up with a hair dryer; fast drying changes the pattern of the cracks. Wash the tools immediately after work with the product the manufacturer gives.

Where it is useful

It comes into its own on the base of a diorama, on a display base and on smaller areas such as a dried puddle beside a road. The dry surface can be toned further with a glaze, a dry brush or pigments, and that brings the cracks out even more. The range also offers a dark version of the same effect and a version for a wet surface, so they can be combined.

No. The cracks form by themselves as it dries. Leave the applied layer alone and do not go over it again.

By the thickness of the layer. The recommended thickness and drying time are given by the manufacturer, and it pays to make a test on a piece of card.

Yes. A glaze, a dry brush and pigments all bring the cracks out and the shade can be matched to the surrounding terrain.

The shade of the resulting soil. The two are made as separate products, and there is a version for a wet surface as well.

It is not recommended. Fast drying changes the pattern of the cracks, so let the layer dry freely.
