Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Mixing Celluclay Correctly?


Interesting.  I am using it like regular papier mache, forming it around a
clay model.  I am assuming that it will dry hard, that I will be able to saw
it, remove the clay and then reform the seam.  Is this approach ill-fated
with Celluclay.  It does dry hard, right?  I assume that I would have to
cover it with some finishing product or another layer or two of papier
mache.

ROBERT - I am not sure I like it either.  It is rather expensive too, don't
you find?  It is quick however (aside from drying) and is like quite a few
layers of papier mache all at once.  Isn't that the advantage?

Thanks for your input...

Paul

Paul,

   I'm also not a huge fan of Celluclay (aside from being sticky, I also
find it takes forever to dry). If you intend to use it, I've had better
results modelling in clay first, creating a negative mold in plaster of
paris, and then filling the negative mold with Celluclay or home made papier
mache pulp.

cheers,

Alexander
