works great, good price, applicator needs some work.

Works great, not happy with the applicator, if you have a big project get a better aerosol can. If you don't use it all in one session, unscrew the atomizer, rinse it and pump some clean water through it, screw it back on and store it for the atomizer to work next time. I applied several coats to 3 large bowls.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Some nuances

I love it for my DIY projects!

I really don't have anything quite like it Since this is the first fabric enhancer I've tried, I used it to stiffen lace for a DIY lace crown project that I used as a top for a baby shower cake! It worked! a few hours because I soaked the tip well and cured and dried 3 rounds to get the result I wanted Spray works well Great price I would recommend this project

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • I'm nervous

The loops are as big as sweet tea. They must have a certain charm

My nephew's wife loves how this thing makes hair bows that I make for her little girl. She says they are "stronger" than the ones her mother makes. I shared my secret so Grandma Ellen can make "strong" bows too! You know, down south, onions are the size of sweet tea. You Must Have Some Omph! We must not have slack bows here! :) Spray a little or a lot depending on how "durable" the bow calls for. shape and dry. If you get too much "power" you can always wet the onion and reshape it.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Don't expect too much

Bought this to make Halloween ghosts for the street. I covered the can with gauze and sprayed it liberally, waiting for it to dry, it was a bit stiff but definitely not able to hold its shape so I applied another coat, then another. Yes, after a few coats I just had a gooey goo that never dried out (inside) and never held its shape. Since it was lying around idly, I successfully attempted to re-tighten the small lampshade! I sprayed the lampshade, stretched a fabric, was able to move it as it…

Pros
  • Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • Not sure

Doesn't work well with loose macrame threads

I bought this specifically for macrame. I've been using it for about 4 days now and have to give a review as it's a lot of money to spend on a hardener. This works well with pieces that are tied tightly like in the picture. This won't make it stand up straight or anything, but it will create a protective barrier for the cotton. However, I was expecting this to work with macrame feathers, but it doesn't. It doesn't work on loose strands. I sprayed from a distance and the piece started to unravel

Pros
  • Adhesive Sheets and Sprays
Cons
  • High Price

This is exactly what I needed! I made a blouse out of thin chiffon and had no idea how i should do it well product like hairspray sprayed on my fabric (i lived on the wild side and didn't even set my laminated table before i spread out the fabric and sprayed it until it was wet) i dried it with a Blow dry with a hair dryer and the fabric was definitely stiff and not stretched after drying awesome! My stitching looked great and I haven't had any issues with my machine except for a few spots…

Pros
  • Kraft
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
