The benefits
Fosshape is a replacement for buckram fabric. Unlike buckram, which can fray, isn't water-resistant, and needs a separate stiffener to give it shape, Fosshape is heat-activated.

The uses
Use it for reinforcement and stiffness, millinery, puppets, masks and props. It can be dyed to whatever color you need, or it can be layered with other fabrics -- or even painted.
