Description
This is a description of a painting tool called the Catalyst Blade Painting Tool. It is made of silicone and is heat-resistant, which is perfect for encaustics. The silicone is easy to clean and is solvent resistant, so paint can be peeled off the tool's surface. The blades can be easily replaced if they become dry.
These flexible silicone tools are designed for use with heavy-bodied paints, Catalyst is at home with oils, acrylics, and water-miscible oils. Because they are heat-resistant, they excel with encaustics. Artists are using them with plaster and clay.
The silicone is easy to wipe clean and is solvent resistant. Clean up in most cases can be done with mild soap and water. Dried paint can be peeled off the silicone surface. Catalyst blades can even be separated from their wood handles for cleaning and easily replaced when dry.
