Powertex is imported from Europe where fabric hardeners are on the shelf of every arts and crafts and art supply store. It is often seen as making garden statues from old t-shirts. But it is far more versatile and sophisticated than tthat. fiber. It is limited only by one's imagination.

Simply saturate the fiber by dipping and kneading into the fiber or brushing on one or more layers of Powertex. Then shape the fabric into whatever position you want it to remain, and allow it to dry. It will adhere to most surfaces except plastic.
