Stiffy Fabric Stiffener, 8 oz

What this decoupage glue and sealer does on cloth

We put Stiffy Fabric Stiffener, 8 oz out for crafters who want the job done in one pass. We bottle this one at 8 fl oz, which lands on a steady run of ordinary projects.

We kept the cured film soft — nothing cracks when the fabric moves. You stick the paper down and seal it with the same jar, no second product.

Because we keep it water based, you can wash your brush in the sink and carry on. We keep it non-toxic, so it belongs on a kitchen table with children around it. Our own surface chart lists it for appliques, fabric and cotton, lace trim and leather and suede. Nothing exotic — just the bottle that does the job.

Textile is the one surface where a hard finish is the wrong answer. This decoupage glue and sealant stays flexible after it dries clear, so a tote bag, a cushion or a painted chair keeps moving instead of cracking. It is washable once fully cured, which for us means four weeks, cool water and inside out. Crafting on cloth rewards washing and pressing the fabric first.
