Primer application
Apply the base/primer first (white paste). Spread to a uniform thickness, no more than 2mm deep. The base/primer can be pigmented by adding acrylic paints, acrylic ink or resin pigments (no more than 20% addition by weight). Any pigmenting of the base should be done before applying it to the substrate. The primer has excellent adhesion to materials such as canvas, wood, polystyrene, plastic, glass or metals. Not suitable for application to silicone or materials made with silicone content
Paste application
Cover the primer with the XL paste immediately afterwards (beige paste). Apply wet-on-wet, can be spread up to a depth of 50mm. The XL Paste can be coloured by spray painting or painting by brush. This can be done just after application, or after cracks appear. Allow a few hours for cracks to appear, thick sections will take longer (up to 2-3 days) for the cracking process to complete. Apply the XL Paste in thick sections to create deeper and wider cracks. Higher ambient temperatures will speed the cracking process.
