Liquitex Professional Modelling Paste 946ml

Liquitex Professional Modelling Paste 946ml. Acrylic and marble putty to build texture on rigid supports and create 3D forms.

Key Features
100% acrylic polymer and marble dust putty builds form and structure
Dries to a very hard 'stone-like' opaque white matte finish that you can sand, drill or carve
Can be used on its own, mixed with colour or painted once dry
Can be overpainted with acrylics, oils, watercolours, graphite or dry pastels
Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality

How to Use
Can be handled like a lightweight clay - for best results remove the lid to let some of the water slowly evaporate until you get the texture you want
For sculptural texture, build up in thin layers (each no more than a quarter of an inch thick), allowing each to dry. Dry slowly by covering loosely with plastic wrap to avoid shrinkage cracks
To use as a ground - apply a thin layer to a rigid surface with a knife/trowel/roller, leave to dry, sand smooth and repeat if needed
To make an absorbent ground, mix 1 part Modelling Paste to 3 parts Liquitex Gesso, apply with a trowel/roller, leave to dry, sand smooth and repeat if needed
For paper mache, soak the paper in a 50/50 mix of Modelling Paste and Gloss/Matte Gel/Gloss Heavy Gel
