I experimented with the "Crystal Effect / CFX" painting method, which custom painters in Asia have been using vegetable fertilizer for over 5 years.
(Also known as Crystal Pattern Paint / Crystal Pattern Paint / Mutant Crystal / Crystal FX / Rectra Finish / Crystal Paint etc.)
I also paint candy with gold and green candy colors.

The method of painting and the mixing ratio of materials are as follows.
※ Here, the fertilizer solution is called CFX solution.

1: Before testing Crystal Effect (CFX), paint the under color with oilbased paint silver and finish with a clear top coat.
2: When the clear is completely dry, grind with a # 400 to # 800 finish until the gloss on the painted surface is completely gone.
3: Dilute the dishwashing detergent 20 times and wash away dirt and sebum on the painted surface.
4: Apply CFX solution evenly to the completely dried painted surface.
5: The time until CFX solution crystallizes varies depending on the temperature and humidity, but it crystallizes in about 5 to 20 minutes.
6: After crystallization has stopped, leave for about 1 hour to evaporate the water.
7: Paint the whole of oilbased paint black. At this time, the extent to which the background is seen through is an appropriate amount.
8: If the black dries, use a water resistant paper # 2000 or sponge to wash away the surface roughness with water. It is gentle to the extent that you stroke the surface.
9: Once again, evaporate the moisture on the painted surface and paint the candy color of the oilbased paint. Do not use waterbased paint at this time.
10: Finished with a clear top coat.

The material and blend ratio of the CFX solution is the volume ratio.
[100% urea fertilizer: 100% warm water: 1% to 2% dishwashing detergent]
The crystal pattern changes depending on the blend ratio. Find a compelling combination yourself. However, there are cases that require attention.
Urea is easy to absorb moisture. Therefore, urea does not crystallize on wet days and rainy seasons ”with high humidity”.
