Product information

Posted on September 11, 2012 by kaylewisgallery

Paverpol was originally developed in the 1990’s by a group of artists in the Netherlands to be used on large outdoor objects for amusement parks and carnival floats. In 2006, Paverpol received the AP seal for non-toxic products from the Art & Creative Materials Institute.

Paverpol can be used to make all sorts of materials rock-hard such as textiles, paper, leather, and other natural materials. It will adhere to wood, ceramics, plaster concrete, and stone.

The following products are available for purchase by contacting Kay:

Paverpol: Is a textile hardener and craft product. It dries fast and is completely transparent. After it has hardened you have created a sculpture or design that can be used indoors as well as outdoors!

Pavercolor: This is a pigment powder that can be mixed with Paverpol to change the Paverpol into the colour of your choice. The powders can also be combined to create custom colours. All Pavercolors can be mixed with water to obtain water paint as well however this technique can only be used on indoor pieces.

Paverplast: Simply mix this powder with Paverpol and you can create an indelible sculpting pasta. This is suitable for creating pieces of work that remain watertight such as bird basins, fountains, pools, etc.

Josefine Varnish: A high quality outdoor varnish which is extremely user friendly. Brushes can be easily cleaned with soap and water.

Josefine’s Art Stone: This product can be used in two different ways: to make self hardening clay or to create a stone look finish to your sculptures.

Josefine’s Relief Decoration: This is a highly textured, dried woodgrain which becomes pliable again when saturated with Paverpol. It has a natural colour but can be dyed with Pavercolors or acrylic paint.
