Paverpol

Paverpol

Paverpol fabric hardener is a non-toxic artist's medium that is creating a whole new area of art creation. It is being used by fine artists, doll makers, art restorers, ceramic artists, and in other fields. Simply dip natural materials, such as textiles, in Paverpol. Drape or wrap the material around a wire figure or other armature and let it dry.

Paverpol Transparent dries perfectly clear allowing the color, pattern, and texture of the original fabric or other material to show. It can be left transparent or painted with acrylics and finished as desired. It is also available in bronze and terra cotta as well a nuetral matte gray.

Paverpol dries fast, but slowly enough to allow plenty of working time. After it has hardened, you have created a beautiful decoration or sculpture, which can be used indoors as well as outdoors.

Paverpol will dry in 12 to 24 hours ready to paint, add more detail, or other finishes. It will completely cure for exterior use in about 2 weeks. If used for exterior it should be coated with an exterior varnish or paint.
