Princeton Catalyst Contour Painting Tools

Princeton Catalyst Contour Painting tools are a stiff nylon painting tool suitable for all media including oil paint, acrylic paint and encaustics. Contours are stiffer and less flexible than the Catalyst Wedge, but work in a similar way. Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably into your hand, these tools can be used to interact directly with your paint and mediums.

Although best used with heavy body acrylic and oils, Catalyst Contours perform equally well with all kinds of different media. They are both solvent and heat resistant, making them suitable for use with oils and encaustics. They are also a brilliant option for building up texture with Cold Wax Painting Mediums. Don't limit yourself just to painting - try them with plaster, clay and even food crafting (silicone is FDA approved)!

Cleaning Princeton Catalyst Contours is simple. Their soft surface is easy to wipe clean and can be cleaned with mild soap and water or solvents. If your paint dries on the surface of the tool it can easily be peeled off. Each Contour is finished with a hole, perfect for storage and organisation is a busy studio. Contours are also thicker at one end to facilitate comfortable holding.

Princeton Catalyst Blades are available in 9 shapes across three series. For more information about size and colour click on the 'Measurements' tab above. The images to the right show the different shapes available.
