Princeton - Catalyst Blade - Long Handle
Not quite a brush. Not quite a palette knife. Catalyst™ tools are crafted from flexible silicone to allow artists a new form of expression. Catalyst™ Blades are mounted on artist brush handles offering a blend of tradition and innovation.
Designed for use with high viscosity 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, clay, and even frosting. Made of FDA-approved silicone, Catalyst™ Blades are great for food crafting.
Clean-up is a breeze with Catalyst™ Blades. 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.
