Stiffen Stuff spray from Beacon Adhesives comes in a 236ml pump spray bottle, and provides a fabulous way to stiffen yarn and fabric that's considerably more convenient than other methods, and it won't flake or crack as with other stiffeners.
Non-toxic and easy to use, Stiffen Stuff is great for stiffening crocheted and knitted decorations. It can also be used on fabrics, bows, ribbon, silk flowers, needlework and other home dιcor projects using thread and yarn-based materials.
No need to make a wasteful mess mixing up materials to soak and drip-dry; simply spray on and allow to dry in around an hour. In cold or humid conditions - or simply if you're in a hurry - you can even use a hairdryer or microwave to speed things up.
Top tips
Do always carry out a test on scrap materials first to make sure the materials are compatible. Can be used on all yarn types, but some fabrics may require prior washing to remove sizing.
For super-speedy results, sprayed items can be dried using a hairdryer or microwave. The best results are achieved with a microwave, but bear in mind that not all materials can necessarily be microwaved; so test on a scrap first.
If using a form, cover it with plastic wrap before spraying to prevent accidentally sticking your items to the form itself.
Once previous coats have completely dried, extra coats can be applied to increase the stiffening effect.
Stiffened items can be softened again by soaking in warm water.
To keep the contents and product in good useable condition, make sure that you rinse the nozzle with warm water after each use to prevent clogging and keep the nozzle covered when not in use.
