Catalyst tools are available in two unique styles (blades & wedges) and are crafted from flexible silicone to allow artists a new form of expression. Designed for use with heavy-bodied paints, Catalyst is at home with oils, acrylics, water-miscible oils and heavy body gels and mediums. They are great for colour shaping & texturing. Because they are heat-resistant to 450°F (232°C), they excel with encaustics. Artists are using them with ceramics, plaster, clay and more as sculpting and modelling tools. Made of FDA-approved silicone, the Catalyst range of Blades and Wedges are food safe making them ideal for food crafting as well. They can be used for decorative cooking and cake decoration, specifically fondant art, sugar art, frosting, icing & glazing. Catalyst Blades are more flexible than a palette knife and spreads like a brush. They are mounted on artist brush handles offering a blend of tradition and innovation. Catalyst Blades work like palette knives while holding paint even better. With 6 different blade tips to choose from in 3 different sizes each (18 options), the texturing possibilities are almost limitless. Clean-up is a breeze with Catalyst Blades and Wedges. The silicone is easy to wipe clean and is solvent resistant. The blade ends are removable from the paintbrush-like handle for easy washing with mild soap and water or clean them in the dishwasher. Dried paint can be peeled off the silicone surface easily.
