Powertex:

 

Powertex is a liquid  medium,  that when applied to textiles or paper, becomes hard after curing.   Powertex can be brushed on or items can be dipped directly in the Powertex.  Once applied, Powertex begins to dry.  After about 10 minutes the textile or paper takes on a leather like feel. Depending on temperature, it will stay flexible for  quite a while. Then  apply the fabric over an armature and create movement by draping fabric, or by adding folds or pleats.  The unique properties of Powertex allows the item to hold its shape; however, it remains flexible enough to manipulate for hours after applying the product. That is the magic of Powertex.

It is available in 1/2 liter, 1 liter & 5 liter containers. 

Available in Transparent, Bronze, Terra Cotta and Lead.  Of course, lead only refers to the color it does not contain any lead.
