Cracking Up.... Any ideas??? Empty Cracking Up.... Any ideas???

So, the other day when working on the big mouth paint for the gallery (Posted in other thread) I have several sections where the paint cracked... and in some cases, fell off!

So...I gather too think, but how? Too much water? Too little water? Any ideas? Ever have this happen? It was Wolfe/DFX/Tag type paint.

The only time encounted this was on a belly paint where I had done a few layers of paint, it started to crack and flake..I gathered it was from layering,,Could that be possible for you.

add some glycerine to your spritzer water. Not an incredible amount, maybe 1/3 tsp. (mess with the amount and see what works for you.)

Snaz, Wolfe,DFX & TAG will all crack & chip when used in large areas. Paradise & Kryolan work much better for body painting. Snaz also fades quickly & will often look dull before your design is done.
