Just to clarify, I said that red rosin paper used as a mache layer was 
as strong as old celastic and very fast drying. I use only two -three 
layers. One brown paper bag kraft paper one red rosin and use a fan for 
drying....
Really, really like it and prefer it to my 5' supply of old celastic 
which a lot of us have, just in case eh?????

There are probably archives on this, cause I got it off of pupcrit when 
that discussion was going on. My technique is pretty much an amalgam of 
the other more knowledgeable people out there.
Soak it in warm water (do this with the paper bags now too) crumple it 
up, squeeze out the water and use a sheet of glass as surface to cover 
the paper with glue. Use a brush.
Glue is a mixture of wheat paste and yellow wood glue.

Like I said all of this stuff I got from here on pupcrit. Also now use 
Magic Sculp GREAT STUFF!!!!! And a lot of times will also coat stuff 
with Sculpt or Coat....Really like that too.
Suggest you check the archives and some of the web sites, that is where 
I found Magic Sculp.
