    Flour/water paste is a lot smoother if you a) used about a quarter of the flour, b) Make a well in the flour, pour a little water into the well and gradually incorporate flour from around the sides, adding more water as needed then lumps should not form but if they do, either strain or blitz the mixture until it's completely lump free c) Keep adding water until the mixture is quite thin in viscosity then d) boil the mixture until it's translucent. e) leave to cool down. You'll be surprised how a little flour goes a long way and how much more pleasant it is to work with warm paste than cold, especially on a cool day.

  • @tinkmarz1

    I hands down prefer the glue recipe. I apply the glue with a brush...much faster and neater than dipping the paper strip and then wiping it off with fingers. Also, for me the glue method dries much, much faster than the flour recipe does...but instead of Elmer's school glue I used Alene's, and it was thinned a little more than in this video. Use the brush to smooth out the paper on your armature, as you work the glue gives the paper more elasticity than the flour recipe and results in a much smoother surface...that's been my experience. Yeah, you do have to apply more layers, but for me it's far more worth the effort. I'll only add that every artist/crafts person develops their own method...so don't hesitate to experiment to achieve what suits you best.

      tinkmarz1 I’ve been doing the same as you - pva plus some water and applied with a brush. The brush gets rid of any air bubbles and the result is quite smooth. It’s been a successful method for me. Also I can’t stand that gloopy flour mixture! Ugh!

    • @tinkmarz1
      @tinkmarz1 Pƙed 4 lety +4

      @@debracarter7290 Yep...we're on the same page with this. If it weren't for the Aleene's/pva glue method I probably wouldn't even bother...lol...! I've also used cold porcelain (the no cook recipe) to cover for an extra smooth surface or sculpting detail. After the surface is dry, just brush some of the water/pva mix, apply the cold porcelain and smooth and work it, and dip brush or fingers in water/pva to help spread it. Don't stretch too much without working more water/pva into it...as it will probably crack as it dries. Speaking of cold porcelain, experimenting around I mixed some silicone caulk with corn starch and got a clay that when dry was very flexible felt like leather. Problem was, there's only about a 15 minute time frame to work with it before it's set. I wonder if adding a few drops of glycerine would extend working time (?). I also tried mixing pva glue with water putty (wood filler, powder form) and got a rock hard substance...problem again, dries too fast to make a large amount. I'm pretty sure adding water would probably extend the drying time...but never experimented any further with that, either. I thought maybe those two recipes might help you or someone else in experimenting in their creative journey. Whatever, good luck...!

    I like to use the flour glue that you boil. I made many projects with it and by putting at least 4 to 5 layers, I got a very hard surface that could crack a skull. I made doll rocks for doll photography to vessels (bowls). They were a lot of fun and very messy. My flour vases or bowls I would put in the oven for an hour or two at 100 degrees to aid in drying and yes, it was fun and gave me many ideas..

    Great video! I'm sure it's been mentioned, but wallpaper paste is cheap and excellent for paper mache, or even flour and wallpaper paste together if you want to combine materials. The process is very forgiving, so it's not necessarily either-or: if you want more hardness to the final product you can add some glue to the flour mixture (don't skip the salt, though, for the reasons you mentioned!). Also, don't use whole wheat or grainy flours - just regular all-purpose stuff. If you are using cloth instead of paper, then adding some white glue is probably a good idea for the added stiffness.

    If the paste is thin, it only becomes a problem if you apply over three layers per session. If you use the traditional glue recipe you need to apply 3 layers at most, wait a day or so for them to completely dry and then apply the next 3. If you need to apply many layers for structural support, apply the paper mache 3 layers at a time. That way the base will not collapse and drying will happen all the way to the coreâ˜ș

    Cornflour paste is my go-to, cook it until it goes slightly translucent. It's not as messy, holds very strong, keeps about a week in the fridge, dries clear, & then your project is compostable if it's a temporaary decoration you don't want to store.

Thanks to your video, I decided to use the flour rather than the glue because the flour will be stronger and I will also be using Drylock for added strength and durability.

    Thank you so much for this! I am making the Loki helmet for Halloween and I just couldn't get the horns right. First I used aluminum foil and wrapped it is clay to smooth it, but the clay cracked. I also tried to make them entirely out of foam, but that didnt work for me either. Then I tried the floor method to wrap aluminum foil with and it worked amazingly! Now I have light and smooth horns to use for my Halloween costume. Thank you!
