Years ago I used an all salt recipe for a school project of puppets and no mold and the puppets were bone hard! (Looking for arsenic might be a problem lol) Suze In a message dated 4/23/2008 11:08:12 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, puppen-AT-mac.com writes: The traditional 19th century solution was to add arsenic. My old puppetry books suggest adding salt to retard mold and spoilage. Probably easier and cheaper than arsenic. Another suggestion from the past was to varnish or shellac both the inside and outside of the casting. As mentioned previously, none of this will do a damn bit of good if the piece is not absolutely bone dry.
