This is perfect for that Cracked, Aged Effect!
 
Apply one coat of desired Dixie Belle Paint color under the crackle.  If natural wood is desired, apply 1 coat Clear Coat and let dry.
 
Stir Dixie Belle Crackle and apply.  Do not thin the crackle medium.
 
The thicker the application the larger the cracks.  Use a cross-hatch brush stroke to create erratic and wide cracks.
 
Do not back brush; this will disturb the cracking process.  Allow crackle to dry completely anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
 
Apply a top coat of any Dixie Belle Paint color.  The cracking process begins as the paint dries.
 
Let dry completely for 24 hours. Enjoy!
