Size of tool: 120 x 100mm

Uses of the Corduroy Tool:

Strie is so easy and quick.  The Corduroy Tool does not leave behind any pattern marks expect for the wonderful look of Strie.  The groves are not too heavy and if passed over several times you will achieve the look of Silk.

Some of the products the Chicago Institute has used to make this wonderful look are:

  • Golden Artist Colors Glass Beads
  • Blue Pearl ™ Silk Soft Paint
  • PROCEED™ Rough Irregular Texture
  • Oikos Kreos

The Corduroy tool is easy to clean with just water and fast drying.  Don’t let the size fool you it is a workhorse that will almost never wear out.
