5. Holding fabric over bowl, squeeze out excess liquid.

Tips & Techniques
1.You can tint the stiffener by mixing in a water-based acrylic paint until the desired color is achieved.
2. To thin the stiffener, add up to 50 percent water depending on the type of fabric and stiffness required.
3. Use on ribbons, trims, cheesecloth, doilies, lace, burlap, gauze or any weight fabric.
Aleene's fabric stiffener compared to Paverpol or Powertex is thinner and results are more subtle. Paverpol will be harder and hold shape stronger and can be used outdoors. Aleene's is will not hold up in outdoor conditions. It is very useful for indoor applications for a lighter and softer stiffening effect.
It is not waterproof. If exposed to water it will soften to original wet condition. Both Paverpol and Powertex will retain its shape even in outdoor conditions as long as it is not totally immersed for an extended time.
