Create stunning designs on furniture, craft projects or art works with PolyOnlay Shapes!
Available in two different sizes.
Please note that due to the different shapes and directions these onlays can be used in, it is very difficult to provide exact dimensions so the given measurements are approximate:
Small: 120mm x 90mm
Medium: 180mm x 135mm
PolyOnlay is a brand new decorative material for the furniture and craft industry; an innovative type of onlay made from a very strong and flexible wood pulp product and yet only 0.9mm thick.
PolyOnlays are:
• Water-resistant - can be painted, stained
and washed.
• Easily decorated in any possible way - use paint, wax, glue, tissue, metallics or any other medium on and with them - or leave them as they are!
• Flexible - can be used on curved surfaces.
• Adaptable - can be cut and sanded to fit a specific space.
• Conveniently suited to any type of adhesive.
• Greenguard Gold Certified, which means the product has extremely low VOC emissions and can be safely used by the whole family.
Frequently asked questions:
> How do I attach PolyOnlay to my project?
Make sure your surface is clean and grease-free. We recommend Polyvine's Cascarez Fast Grab Wood Glue (the red one) or use any good quality glue suitable for your substrate. Use a brush, sponge dabber, foam roller or finger and apply a generous coat to the back of your PolyOnlay. Attach it to your surface and wipe away any excess glue with a damp cloth, baby wipe or brush.
> Can I apply PolyOnlay on a curved surface?
Yes, you can! PolyOnlay is flexible in either direction so you can apply them on bow-fronted drawers, lamp shades, flowerpots and more. Just hold it down with masking tape or clingfilm until the glue bonds.
> I quite like the natural colour of PolyOnlay, can I leave them as they are?
Yes! PolyOnlay is water resistant so it can be cleaned and wiped down without sealing it.
> Can I cut PolyOnlay to fit my project?
Yes! You can alter your PolyOnlay by using a sharp craft knife (please use caution when using sharp instruments, wear PPE, all that jazz) or heavy-duty scissors. You can also smooth rough edges with sanding paper.
> What paint can I use on my PolyOnlay?
Any!!! Mineral paint, chalk paint, eggshell paint, milk paint, metallic paint, spray paint, solvent-based paint, coloured waxes, pigments, permanent ink, varnish, glaze, resin… anything else you can think of!
> Do I decorate my PolyOnlay before or after I attach it to my project?
Your choice! It depends on the look you're going for. Experiment with both options.
