Why use Flints Mud?

We use Flints Mud in a whole range of settings. When we work on a Theatre productions, they often need our costume breakdown to be permanent as the costumes will be washed up to eight times a week, Flints Mud is perfect for this. It's a great colour straight out of the pot, and can be watered down to create your desired look - Sticky sludge or a splash from a puddle. It's one our main products that we use for a 3D effect, and is more permanent than our Puff Binder

We exclusively sell 250g and 500g pots, ideal for artists that are on set, or on the go.
