Princeton Catalyst Contour Tools

Imagine if you could fuse a paint brush and a palette knife. Well, the Princeton Catalyst tools are just that.

Crafted from flexible silicone and stiff nylon to allow artists a new form of expression.

Available in unique 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. Catalyst Contours are made out of a stiff nylon and the Catalyst Mini-Blades are made out of flexible silicone.

Designed for use with heavy-bodied paints, Catalyst is at home with oils, acrylics, and water mixable oils. Because they are heat-resistant, they excel with encaustics.

Artists are using them with plaster, clay, and even in cake decoration.

Clean-up is a breeze with the Catalyst tools. The silicone and stiff nylon is easy to wipe clean and is solvent resistant. 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.
