Hey there, Im a performance artist making a rather large pinata to break on stage, I need a very sturdy paper mache recipe, however my question is, could I still break my sculpture if i use wood glue? Reply This paper mache clay pot above is made with recipe 1. It is a little more fragile to work with compared to the other 3 recipes. But it becomes quite strong after the paper clay dries completely. Paper mache clay recipe 2: paper pulp, flour, and glue

The main garnet mineral used for sandpaper is called almandine. This mineral is sharp and harder than finer-grain quartz based sandpaper. Garnet is used for a variety of utilities including countertops, blasting, cutting and as jewelry gemstones. Garnet is great for sanding due to its virtuous roughness. Is sandpaper rougher 100 or 220? Mix 1 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of water and the salt or vinegar into a batter, add to paper pulp and knead until everything is well mixed together. You will still have little lumps of paper pulp, but try to break up the lumps as much as possible. Flour and water paper mache paste mixtures also tend to be opaque or white unless you make a “cooked” paste, which tends to go on clear. This can add an extra dimension to your work.However, you can also add food dye to have a more creative effect on your work.OPTIONAL: some people like to add a tablespoon of salt to help preserve the paper mache glue – but we have never needed to do this. If you live in an area with high humidity you may wish to add some I often use Titebond III wood glue with masks that need to be light and strong. You can see a video about that here. Grab your form. If you’re a newbie, start with a balloon to get the feel. To make it easier to slide out, coat it with cooking oil (or skip if it’s too messy with kids). A disposable container/ old pan if using a cooker (though you can use a normal bowl, as this washes up nicely and won’t get ruined!)

Cooked Paste Recipe: Although this recipe is similar to the no-cook version, the paste is a little stronger and smoother. Hi Jo. Balloons are really hard to use with paper mache, as you already discovered. I did switch to plaster of Paris bandages for the first few layers, and put plain paper strips and paste over that – just a layer or two to cover the texture of the fabric. If you’d like the paper mache itself to add strength to your wearable art, the shop-towel mache would help. Make sure to completely saturate the shop towels with the drywall joint compound/Elmer’s glue mixture. They won’t get stiff without lots of paste. I have used Elmer’s craft, Elmer’s and water, wood glue and water, fabric starch (sta flo), starch and Elmer’s mixed….all to no avail. The piece just isn’t strong enough. It starts sagging once hung. Is there a strong fabric paste that I haven’t found yet? Any help would be appreciated. Hi Soph. You’d need to test it. You might be able to break it if you only use one or two layers, but this stuff is really strong. If you get too many layers, it could be similar to working with thin plywood. The traditional flour and water paste might be a better choice, but be sure to experiment to see which one works better for you. Reply Is your sculpture really huge? For a parade float, perhaps? Then you have the additional problem of gravity moving water down towards the bottom of your sculpture.If you don’t have a microwave, you can do this on the stove top – just heat the mixture in a pan gradually, bring to the boil and keep stirring! Is PVA glue or flour better for paper mache? We love this professional-looking stained glass craft kit. As well as being easy to use, it’ll also look great in your child’s bedroom – simply affix the cord and suction cup to hang where required. It’s also great for promoting problem-solving skills, fine motor skills and hand-to-eye coordination.
