Catalyst Blades and Wedges<\/a><\/h5>\n

Not quite a brush, not quite a palette knife – Catalyst Blades and Wedges<\/a> are an innovative new line of creative tools for artists from Princeton Brushes. They are particularly well suited to heavy body acrylic paints.<\/p>\n

Catalyst tools are crafted from flexible silicone to allow artists a new form of expression. Available in two styles: Catalyst Wedges are ergonomically designed to fit in your hand allowing a direct interaction with your work. Catalyst Blades are mounted on artist brush handles offering a blend of tradition and innovation.<\/p>\n

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, clay, and even frosting. Made of FDA-approved silicone, Catalyst Blades and Wedges are great for food crafting.<\/p>\n

Clean-up is a breeze with Catalyst Blades and Wedges. 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.<\/p>\n

Catalyst Polytip Bristle brushes<\/a><\/h5>\n

This series of brushes is super stiff yet extremely responsive. Unlike natural hog bristle, Catalyst has real integrity in water. Natural bristle can be rendered useless when it is water-soaked. The true advance in these brushes is the Polytip feature. For the first time, the tip of each individual hair has been split to replicate the natural flags on the finest natural bristle. By giving each individual hair 2 to 3 distinct tips, Catalyst is able to hold a higher volume of paint while providing a smoother application. Designed for use with medium to heavy-bodied acrylics and oil paints, Catalyst Polytip brushes push even heavy gel mediums with assurance.<\/p>\n
