Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Non molding paper mache &  Rod Puppet Length


Thanks Jon!!
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)

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.
