How durable is the finished product? Any chipping or cracking? I'm looking to attach decorative pieces to an article of clothing for a costume.

Pretty solid pieces as far as durability. I cast pieces smaller then a button well about 8 of them I used a silicone rubber to mold the shapes it has it's own release agent mixed in with it . Anyway the pieces turned out very hard and I was able to use my Dremel to polish them down a bit after they cured. I highly recommend it. However be sure to use rubber gloves ( kind you clean a stove with) as I believe if this gets on your skin into your pours it can lead to your repository system shutting down. No chipping no cracking of any of my cast so far.

I used it on some costume armor and it's holding up perfectly. It's better than I expected!

This is a great material and would work as a shelf liner with one caveat. I would only use it if you were to permanently glue it down as it is brittle and will crumble if it is not.

We haven't had any issues with the finish. No fading or chipping and we keep this out all year also and do not even cover it. Would buy again.

So far, it's been pretty docile when it comes to thickly layered materials, since many of my outfits, such as my Schala and FF9 'Iron Tail' Fratley cosplay, since the first had a beaded ribbon lining the sleeves and collar part; the Fratley cosplay was a bit more of a re-customization of an old jacket that my brother had torn up, along making a hat from scratch and several other items. For leather, however, you may have to use the tools made for the material. Leather is one of those materials that one should be afraid to make mistakes in, and I was afraid to touch the machine for the gillies that I had to make, since it did occasionally throw a hissy fit whenever I used it for a pair of pants that I'd made into capris.

No, I use it as a wardrobe system for art supplies. The material would crack.

yes! we did the exact same thing with the remainder of ours last week. my daughter used a ton of jewels on hers and played outside with her cape on a couple times now. if any have fallen off, i haven't noticed:) they definitely wouldn't survive the washing machine, but they have a good "stick" to them!

I've used it to hem a faux leather skirt for a Xena Warrior Princess Halloween costume and it worked fine. Also, used it to glue rickrack and plastic gemstones and sequins to the leather. The issue will be if there is an exposed edge of the seat that will tend to peel back with abrasion and/or sheer stresses over time. The glue works on vinyl faux leather.

Hi Mara, I had this for about a year, and there is no cracking. In fact this fabric is very flexible, so I dont foresee cracking to be an issue.Hope this helps!!Yana

I have the product. Like it but my copper pieces are for decoration only. Sorry. Call the company for an answer.

Being that it is mostly made for display purposes it can be fragile in some aspects. For the most part they hold together very well. The only thing I would say to be careful with is some of the joints, like swapping the hands a lot can wear on the pegs and some have been known to break that way. I have several Sh Figuarts and so far not a single one has broke yet.

This item is pretty sturdy. My daughter dances and I use it to hang her costumes on it .This is not flimsy what so ever so I believe you will be fine . I would like to say 10-15 items on the rack will be ok and maybe more depending on how heavy the costumes are. .

I don't know how representative the piece I bought was, but mine came with dents and chips in it. I had to return the one I purchased because it was too dinged up to be used. I don't know if the surface itself is prone to chipping, but of course when the metal underneath is seriously dented, the surface coating will fall off! I recall years ago my parents had something that looked much the same, and it was tough & durable, so I was surprised by what I got. Hopefully mine was just a "one off" experience, but the thin and weak metal made me think that other people will also have bad luck.

It is made of very sturdy material and not thin in size. We have not had any problems with breakage. It is used by my granddaughter as a wand and she doesn't get overly rough with it. You can get a list online of the different spells you can say and flick your wand a certain way to pretend to be a wizard. The case and wand are very well made and realistic.

Pretty good. I recommend you test it on a scrap piece first because it can be a little tricky threading thinner things. Ribbon and binding will sometimes twist if you're not careful but overall, it works well for embellishments.

I wouldn't unless it was necessary..it does have metal nuts & bolts but I haven't looked at it closely enough to see if tools could be used to disassemble it. I'm using mine with a mask & dress to be a tarot card reader. For you're project of using bones for a wreath I'd look for an inexpensive bag-o-bones at 1/2 the cost.
