Product Specification

When dry, it can be painted with any Rosco scenic paint (Off Broadway, Supersaturated, etc.), or carved, or safely rolled without cracking, peeling, or sticking. Such products as sand, sawdust or powdered clay can be added to it to create unique textures.

CrystalGel is a styrene resin, providing the greatest adhesion power of any non-oil based product. Among the soft surfaces to which CrystalGel will adhere are styrofoam, ethafoam and, of course, muslin and fabrics. Among the more rigid surfaces to which CrystalGel will adhere are metals, glass, plastics, wood, Luan and fiberboard. It is particularly effective in adhering to plexiglass without hardening off.

SURFACE PREPARATION

All surfaces should be clean, dry and dust-free before application.

APPLICATION

Apply by brush, roller, pastry tube, trowel, tongue depressor or any other convenient means. CrystalGel has the consistency of hair gel. It may be thinned with water for a more liquid consistency.

CrystalGel is my favorite Rosco product

CrystalGel is my favorite Rosco product.
It performs exactly as described, sticks to basically anything, has some good flex and holds a modest shape. Currently, I'm using CrystalGel to sample stained glass on plastic sheeting, it mixes really well with dye and alcohol ink. The theatre I work at typically faces window light boxes with plastic that has a ribbed texture, so I'll usually apply some CrystalGel to combat that look.
