What's the difference between Wonderflex and Wonderflex PRO?
Both types of Wonderflex can be used in the same way. Wonderflex contains a polyester scrim reinforcement, making one side textured. Wonderflex PRO doesn't have the scrim, which means it can stretch further and is totally smooth on both sides for a high gloss finish. Wonderflex is white, Wonderflex PRO is grey in colour.
How is WONDERFLEX different from FOSSHAPE?
Wonderflex and Fosshape are both thermoplastics that use heat to activate them, but they are very different materials. WONDERFLEX is a firm thermoplastic sheet which becomes pliable with heat (heat gun, hot water, steamer) it has it’s own adhesive and will adhere to almost anything, once cooled it resumes its rigid state. Wonderflex can be reactivated and reformed. FOSSHAPE is a thermoformable non-woven-felt whose fibers compress and stiffen under heat and pressure, it will adhere to itself but for a more secure join stitching by hand or machine is recommended, once activated Fosshape can not be reshaped.
