Mod Podge Plaid Stiffy Fabric Stiffener, Clear, 8 x 2.5 x 2.5

This stuff works great. Almost too well. Using it on older made dollies and noticed if I use too much on the thinner ones it actually makes them slightly brittle. Otherwise I found it to work the best for a stiffner.

Success on First Try! I was skeptical because I've never used any sort of fabric stiffener and wanted to harden the prim Halloween decor I'm designing to sell. Well, happy to say that this is great! I painted it on my hand sewn items and it hardened the cloth perfectly! DRIED TRANSPARENT! One was a raven made out of black cotton/polyester and the other was ghosts made from drop cloth fabric, larger textured fabric, and they both hardened perfectly!! Will continue to purchase this product because it worked. I don't have to try and find another brand. I love the size of the bottle, not too small! I'd buy this in quarts!

Going to leave some notes from my first attempts with this product in case they can help anyone else who is new to/confused about this type of stiffener. I work in costuming, so I tested on poly velvet scraps since it’s commonly-used. First thing to point out is that this is very much a glue-type product [makes sense with the brand]. Same texture and thickness to regular ol’ school glue. I could not find instructions anywhere for how much product to use so I started out with 1:3 product-to-water ratio. This crushed the velvet fibers flat, and they never lifted again when dried. The scrap is essentially a piece of paper now. When people comment on color change with this product I wonder if this is what they are actually seeing [fabric fibers being pressed in a different direction]. Second test I used a less-exact dilution of around 1:10 product-to-water ratio, which was very liquid. This resulted in a much softer and more usable velvet - crispy when dry, however still apparently velvet. I went ahead and used this same ratio on an old velvet hat just to see how this product would work on providing structure to an already-completed project. I would say it’s excellent for this sort of molding and held the shape of a wig head perfectly. Once again, the velvet texture turns scratchier [like wool felt]. The satin lining is just fine. Ultimately I will be keeping this for projects where change in tangible texture is not a big concern. I think it works amazingly for that. If you are wanting something to firm the drape of fabric for clothing you might be best off sticking to laundry starch or just sewing with interfacing. Cheers and good luck!

Works great

Good to have, buy regular mod podge stiffens better.

I use Stiffy to make ghosts out of gauze diapers. It does a wonderful job. If the ghost gets out of shape in storage, you can mist it with cool water and reshape it.

dries FIRM and very clear. Wonderful for stiffening Christmas ornaments.

Good stuff, works very well for my DIY projects

Works well on my yarn projects……

Good

THIS IS AMAZING! I bought something else to try on lace first and it didn't work. This however is incredible. I dipped the lace in, dried in the sun and hey presto the lace was stiff enough to spray gold and make tiaras for the party. What a wonderful product. And I have heaps left for other products. Easy to use, clean up, didn't make my skin feel funny when using it, and dried perfectly clear. Excellent.

Me ha gustado el resultado, seguí las indicaciones de diluir un poco en agua y la verdad es que las alas de mi hadita han quedado estupendas

I bought this product to re-shape my hats after washing them. I am very happy with the product, it worked perfectly. I brushed it all over the hat and now I can wear them again. Next time ill dilute the product because they turned out a bit too hard but to me it is absolutely worth buying it. 100% recommend this product
