Gold and Silver Foil
Gives a high luster of gold and silver to a product which ordinary paints cannot. Lockbond glue is first painted on the surface, allowed to dry to a sticky finish. The foil is then placed on the product. |

Flatte Kote
Sprayed or brushed on, liquid Flatte Kote is used to achieve a frosted glass effect (matte finish) for picture frames, décor, Christmas balls, stained glass. Note the difference on right side of the transparent resin where Flatte Kote was applied. |

Tack-Free Solutions
Polyester resin does not fully cure when it is exposed to the air (air-inhibited) and so remains tacky/ sticky. Polymer developed two products to solve this problem.
Wax Solution
Used primarily in fiberglass applications. Added to the LAST layer of resin to form a barrier of wax with the air. Wax sol is an economical alternative to sanding and cellophane- finishing.
Tack Remover
Used in small, 3D applications (figurines, décor, etc.) Items are soaked for 2-3 minutes in tack remover which “eats” the uncured, tacky resin. May be re-used. CAUTION: May cause severe irritation to skin and eyes! |
