101™ Craze & Crackle
is a permanent, archival medium
made to craze or crackle nearly any semi-rigid
or rigid surface. It dries to an opaque, matte,
and durable finish. It may be blended with various
wet or dry colorants. After drying, lines will
appear as fine crazing in thin layers and crackling
with thicker applications. Allowed to cure/dry
naturally, 1/8" thick will completely craze within
4 to 6 hours. Covering with any UV paint is advised
to prevent eventual yellowing.

are valuable, soft, strong, have great spring
and great for watercolor painting. Bristles are
stiff with "flags" which have spring and well-suited
for oils and acrylics. Camel hair is made from
various animal hairs and generally too fluffy
or soft for detailed work. Horse hair is strong,
resilient, coarse and have small pockets to carry
water and color. Synthetics vary in color and
quality.
