NEW FOR COSTUME MAKERS< MILLNERS< PROP MASTERS, and MUSEUM MOUNT MAKERS
We carry Fosshape, which is a heat reactive low melt polyester nonwoven batting-like fabric and Wonderflex, a buckram lined polymer sheeting. Both can be manipulated and bonded when heated, and work very well together. Once cool, they become solid. The Fosshape is available in black, but this material cannot be dyed. If color is desired, acrylic based paint and spray paints have been used, depending on your end usage.
A very exciting addition to our inventory is FORMETAL ALUMINUM WIRE MESH a lightweight scultpable material that is sold by the meter, and requires pressure, patience, and a pair of gloves! It has been used as the structural base for dinosaurs, and dresses, and is a must for any workshop where magic is being made.

MUSEUM DISPLAY CASES DESIGNER
Session Sponsor
Initially designing and fabricating museum-quality display cases for some projects we were working on, we got involved more and more in developing and building made-to-measure casework that would meet the demanding needs of curators and conservators as well as exhibit designers. Over time, designing and manufacturing conservation grade display cases became our specialty and we have grown to be an important and reputable firm in this business. We deliver optimally designed display cases, on schedule and within budget. Our cases are profitable investments that offer superior quality at very competitive prices. Over the years, we have built a solid reputation where the word "impossible" and "no" is not part of our vocabulary. For this reason, our new slogan is "Driven by Solution", which reflects our determination to overcome any challenge.
