Questions & Answers

Are you talking about the elder paste we used to eat as children? There was just something about that paste that I loved. ?

It's hard for me to comment on the smell of "Elder's" Paste, but Elmer's Paste has the authentic, nostalgic aroma we remember from our

Can you tell me if this art paste is gluten-free How much?

There was a video I saw of this product that claims it is gluten-free.

The dry powder is clear, isn't it?

The lather would dry more or less clear if it weren't lathered on too thick. Due to my use of it for papier mache, which was to be painted over, I wasn't paying much attention to

Can you paint your project well after using the paste? Do you think that it will be lighter in weight than if a flour and water paste were used instead?

Following the use of this product is no different from painting. It has been 18 years since I was an art teacher. The last time I used flour was a couple of months ago. It is so thin and smooth that there will be no lumps at all in this paste. It will be easier to paint that way. You can add some white glue to the mixture after you've mixed it, if you want it stronger. This is a very effective, and keep for quite a while since no food (wheat) is present. I highly recommend this book. During the past several years, we've run it with over 2000 high school students.

Selected User Reviews For Elmer's Art Paste, Paper Mache, 2 Ounces

It's the best paper we've ever seen Put some glue on your machine! The product arrived in a timely manner and was of the highest quality
5/5

I would like to provide a cautionary note to I've found that following the instructions is deceptive. It takes a lot more time to dissolve the powder than it appears in the directions. In order to mix the glue, I used a 4 liter glass bottle. Add about 2/3 of the contents of the box to the bottle after filling it about two thirds with water. After shaking for at least 3 minutes, remove from the shaker It may take more than four minutes. Let it sit for a few days or even a week. Once the solution is clear and not too lumpy, proceed to the next step. Pour the remainder of the water and powder into the shaker, and shake again vigorously for three minutes This could be anywhere from 4 to much more than that. The solution should be allowed to It will be clear eventually, after a day or two, or perhaps three. It does not seem like the directions are accurate from what I have experienced. You may let me know how to replicate that experience if there has been a better one. Papier-mâché is for those who want to try it Set up the glue a lot before you start teaching, and get the students involved Neither does it "spoil," as some might suggest. "NEVER THE LESS!" The quality is much greater than that of the usual papier-mâché I used to make machines when I was a kid and what is still available today. Putting out the extra effort is worth the small (very little) extra expense. It won't mold or stink up. Vermin will not be attracted to it. This clear resin is as hard as an eggshell when it dries. In conclusion, I would like to conclude on this note You can easily wash it off your hands and from your.

These are my favorite things! This was for a paper mache project I was making for a party
5/5

I made several large paper mache heads. The flour I made with traditional methods was not what I wanted There are several reasons to use a water-based paste for paper mache Please review
The gluten in my food causes me to have a sensitivity*br- There is a possibility that it will age badly*gr- It should be something that could be mixed and used over several weeks without needing to be re-mixed Regular mixing was key to getting the best results from this product. It took me about a week to use the contents of the box, so I mixed it in a plastic container for I had no problems working with it and it performed well. I highly recommend this book!.

As you can see it goes a long way so keep in mind it's There are a lot of papers in this package It makes about a gallon of papier mâché when you buy it, so keep that in mind when you buy it The papier mâché glue we used to make six papier mâchés In the end I had at least 6 cups left over from making the papier mâché balloons
5/5

I bought two boxes of glue, but I discovered after mixing the first one that you need one if you're doing (6) small The glue can also be refrigerated up to 7 days if you want to keep it longer, you can store it in the freezer for up to 6 This glue is amazing and holds very firmly when dry. We made some hanging lamps for the inside and outside of our home, and it was a lot of fun. Thank you for the generosity!.

I had a great time
5/5

It is used to make rock hard paper A hard-board material. The amount of food we consumed was way too much for two people in two boxes! There were many types of paper to make and we all had a great time The turtles are made of papier mâché. There was a lot of spillage, but it was not hard to clean up. The turtles were hard as rocks once they were dried. In addition, we had to use an electric hand mixer and much more water.

This is a very good product, which makes a lot for the size of the I found it to be surprisingly Stirring it in a shoebox-type tub until it was smooth and no chunks remained was my method
5/5

This is clear. There may be an initial foaming, but that will work itself out after a while. In that jug, the remnants have been stored for a month or so, so I transferred them to a gallon container. It's easy to keep a squeeze bottle of it and refill it as needed. By the way, squirt bottles are excellent for making clay. I just thought I'd mention it.

Taking two directions at once
5/5

Follow the directions on the package at your own risk. If you get lumps, you'll have to deal with them. You can fill a container with 12 cups of ice cold water instead. Then add a dusting of powder and whisk it in with a wire whisk (I used my 8 quart kettle). To finish the bag, add a dusting of powder and whisk until it It takes about 10 minutes to do this. Adding an additional 4 cups of water will reduce the time it takes to brew. Two minutes will be needed to whisk together. As the directions state, let it set for 15 minutes and then whisk it In a container that can be airtight, pour the mixture. I wouldn't use anything else now that I have the mixing down to a science. The product I'm using is great.

Stuff You Need To See There is a lot of volume
5/5

I think you are right - it's excellent! There are about 4 quarts in this tiny box of gelatinous clear glue. In hindsight, that wasn't quite as big of a deal as I thought. My favorite use of it is in a pulp papier maché recipe, which yields a creamy result. It was quite useful on my paper boat, as well as the paste (it's more like a gel-- It was then processed in batches in a blender that I had dedicated to crafts projects (primarily The methylcellulose in it I treated as such because I had read that it was methylcellulose By adding a slowly flowing stream of powder to spinning water, I added a portion of dry powder to the top. Approximately 1/3 of the water in each time is the amount that the blender has. **Then, I filled an empty juice bottle with seltzer, as well as an empty seltzer It was a little bit hard for me to concentrate compared to those The recommended amount of fluid is 8 liters In the paste, there was a clear gelatinous consistency.

This is an easy-to-use tool
5/5

I am using Elmer's Art Paste for the first time and I am really pleased with how it works. I can make up a big batch and add colors to it if I want to and it is really easy to work with. This is my favorite cause I can use my hands and pant brushes, and with a bit of soap and water it cleans perfectly, and it dries so well.
