Aaaaannnd, now that I know what it's called, and have discovered that it should be about $5/bottle, but is being sold for $25/bottle because it's discontinued, I have also discovered that it doesn't really do what I thought it did.
I thought it was a think paint that gave the texture and color of porcelain. What it actually is, is a stiffener, to be used on silk flowers, etc, which doesn't change the color of the fabric, so must then be painted white to make it look like porcelain. Hmmmph. Won't do for my project after all, so glad that I researched before purchasing it.
That said, anyone know of something I can spray or paint onto plastic that will give me the texture of porcelain?

true, but then I'd have to fire it, and the plastic doll underneath it will melt.
and I don't have a kiln.
