Rosco · clear flexible coating & texture medium

Clear, flexible, and a primer for surfaces paint won't stick to

CrystalGel is a water-based, non-toxic scenic coating that dries clear, flexible and durable. Use it as a clear protective coat, a primer that helps paint bond to foam and synthetics, or a texture medium for glossy, glass-like, wet and dimensional effects.

What it's for

Most common CrystalGel projects

  • Primer for foam & synthetics when paint won't bond
  • Clear protective coat over scenic finishes
  • Wet / glossy / glass-like effects (water, slime, ice)
  • Binder for glitter, aggregates, fillers and texture mixes
  • Fabric stiffening without turning fabric opaque
  • Clear barrier / splinter shield on rough wood
Choosing

Best for — and the alternatives

CrystalGel is best for

  • Clear + flexible finishes (no brittle shell)
  • Surfaces where paint won't stick
  • Building gloss / wet / texture effects
  • Controlled build-up with trowel or pastry tube

If you need something else

CrystalGel is clear and flexible. For a hard shell or a bonding coat:

  • FoamCoat → rigid foam hard shell
  • FlexCoat → flexible coating for soft foam
  • FlexBond → adhesive + coating for mixed materials
The hard numbers

Coverage varies with build thickness and technique — thin protective coats go much further than heavy texture build-ups.

CrystalGel vs the other coatings

CrystalGel is the clear, flexible one. If your job is different:

I need a hard shell on rigid foam
Choose FoamCoat — rigid, impact-resistant, paint-ready.
View FoamCoat
It must bend/flex without cracking
Choose FlexCoat — a tough, flexible coating.
View FlexCoat
I need clear textures (water/ice/glass)
Choose CrystalGel — clear, flexible texture medium.

Coverage — a guide only
Approximate coverage: varies widely with build thickness — a thin protective coat goes much further than a heavy texture build-up.
Coverage figures are approximate and quoted under ideal conditions. Every project, surface and material is different — actual coverage varies with the substrate and its porosity, the number of coats, any dilution, and how the paint is applied. Treat these figures as a guide only, not a guarantee. For a large job, buy a little extra, work out the quantity on the coverage calculator, or contact us before ordering.
