How The Paverpol Fabric Hardener Works

By Lawanda Burch


When it comes to hardening fabric rock, one of the best products that are user friendly is the Paverpol fabric hardener. Originally colored white, it can be applied and after a few hours becomes transparent. The hardening process can take any time between one and two weeks, but this will be determined by the temperature of the work area. As soon as the hardening is done, the artwork becomes weather resistant in that it can withstand all the extreme weather elements.

Wearing gloves is not necessary when utilizing Paverpol, as one can just wash his or her hands and the tools with warm water. To use it to harden materials, they are wrapped or drape in an available armature such as a wire figure, and then giving it time to dry. Drying of the product is fast, although it does so slowly enough to give the artist more working time.

As soon as it has hardened, the sculptor will have created a beautiful sculpture or decoration that can be used both outdoors and indoors. Additionally, it is possible to combine Paverpol with silk, paper, self-hardening clay, chamois leather, polystyrene foam, wood, died flowers, pottery, plaster and many other materials.

Paverpol is the worlds best medium for fiber sculpting and hardening textiles. It is the only product of its kind that has received an award from the Arts and Creative Materials Institute (ACMI) called the AP non-toxic seal. A group of scientists from Holland created the hardener in the early 1990s as an alternative to resin that was user and environment friendly. Artists and crafters now use it across the world in more than twenty countries.

The hardener is water based and provides people who deal with works of art with a new trusted and serious material for strengthening their scope of work, whether used inside or outside. It is made even more appealing by the fact that is does not depreciate polystyrene foam as witnessed in other textile hardeners.

To achieve great results with Paverpol, there are several dos and don'ts to be observed. The liquid should not be poured down a drain; a bucket of water should be kept in handy at the work station for rinsing brushes and hands frequently. As much as the product is non-toxic and water based, it is designed to make rocks hard and thus a sculptor would not want it to get stuck in their plumbing. Any solids that may collect at the bottom of the bucket may be disposed off in a trash receptacle available.

Just the mere fact that Paverpol received the ACMI awards proves that it is very environment friendly. Most countries in Europe may not yet have set specific rules for testing hardeners, but is allowed in a number of Scandinavian nations. In these countries, they have high standards when it comes to policies of safety.

When dealing with importation of products that comes from foreign nations, the United States is quite strict. Particularly, this is applied when the product under question is to be used in the education sector. The Paverpol fabric hardener has been undergoing several teats in North American labs. Since it has passed all of them, it is now considered safe for use by anyone
