GENERAL POWERTEX INFO
Powertex is a water based product,
an environmently friendly alternative for polyester
it hardens all absorbent materials and with the complementary products in its' range, and other mixed media - the creative and artistic possibilities are infinite
I prefer to work with gloves, but you can perfectly well work without
wash your hands with warm water to remove powertex easily
wear bad clothes and shoes
protect your crafting desk and floor with plastic foil
do not pour Powertex or clean remainders in your sink !
let your artwork dry on plastic during 6 weeks in a dry room of min. 16 degrees
regularly turn your artwork to dry at all sides
