Craquelure/Faux Canvas Effect
Craquelure:
The hairline surface cracking of paintings
into characteristic patterns determined
by climate conditions, and materials used
in the work. Cracking was so common in works
by 18th-century English painters that it
became known as craquelure anglaise. Forgers
and restorers often imitate it to enhance
the look of authenticity in their works.
Now you can make your
prints look like an artist painted them
with 
Gluefast's
Craquelure (CR) coating. CR is a new
liquid acrylic coating that when applied
to the surface of a print makes it appear
as if the paint were actually on the canvas,
giving it a 3-dimensional appearance! CR
coatings are available in glossy or matte
finish.

easy to open valve to dispense CR onto the
roller assembly. Coating thickness is achieved
by adjusting two knobs. A pressure bar attachment

thick.
