Why is it so strong & good for outdoor sculptures?
When fully cured, Pal Tiya Premium has been especially 'designed' to absorb impacts.
In technical terms, the surface zone surrounding the initial point of impact a fall or 'accident' will tend to 'bend' rather than shatter or break. Now, it doesn't bend much. It behaves more like a foot square of 3/4 inch plywood. There is enough give in that to be strong, but you can barely see it move. Pal Tiya Premium is the same. The strength and tenacity of its particularly advanced microfibers interact with its very specific formulation to replace the need for armatures when fully cured.
