About Paverpol
The #1 textile hardener for fine art and crafts.
Paverpol is one of the most exciting art mediums to come along in years! Paverpol was developed in Europe and has been used throughout the world. Paverpol is the No. 1 decoration and textile hardener.
Initially, Paverpol was developed by a group of artists who used it to make large objects. Paverpol's many applications has encouraged many individuals to express themselves in a creative way.
Paverpol can be used to make all sorts of materials rock-hard, such as textiles, paper, chamois leather, fiberglass, self-hardening clay and all kinds of natural materials. It will adhere to wood, ceramics, plaster, concrete, stone and most surfaces except plastic. Paverpol makes it easy to combine varied and normally incompatible materials into a single sculpture.
It will withstand outdoor weather! Fully cured Paverpol sculptures can be place in outdoor settings. It has been used to restore the exterior brick of historic buildings, theme park props, and garden sculptures.

Magic-Sculpt added to line
Two part epoxy clay
This fantastic medium is a hand mixed two part medium that produces a rock hard surface overnight. It can be smoothed with water and has several hours working time. Magic-Sculpt sticks to almost anything and is very easy to work with.
Combining Magic-Sculpt with Paverpol is revolutionizing fine art sculpting. Paverpol medium can be added over or attached to Magic-Sculpt even before it cures. When the two mediums are painted or finished together they appear as a single substrate combining all kinds of fabric, natural fibers, and hard materials into one art piece.
Magic-Sculpt is available in natural ( a light grey color ), white, and flesh color in 1lb. and 5 lb. containers. The natural color is the most popular as it is slightly lower priced and is usually painted or covered with Paverpol texture or other finishes.
