A flexible bond, primer and coating in one
FlexBond is a water-based scenic adhesive and flexible coating that dries clear and durable — for builds that need to hold together and stay flexible without going brittle. Ideal for fabrics, thermoplastics and mixed-material props.

Most common FlexBond applications
- Priming and smoothing thermoplastics (Worbla, plastics)
- Flexible coating on costumes, fabrics and wearable props
- Binding scenic textures — sawdust, sand, flocking, dirt effects
- Papier-mâché and scenic layering
- Laminating and strengthening large scenic elements
- Mixed-material builds needing flexible adhesion
Best for — and the alternatives
FlexBond is best for
- Builds needing durability without brittleness
- Bonding and sealing mixed materials
- A flexible primer on hard-to-paint surfaces
- Water-based scenic workflows
If you need something else
FlexBond bonds and stays flexible. For a hard shell, a soft-foam skin, or clear texture:
- FoamCoat → rigid foam hard shell
- FlexCoat → flexible coating for soft/moving foam
- CrystalGel → clear textures & effects
