Liquitex Modelling Paste is a thick acrylic gel blended with marble dust for a strong durable texture Gel Painting Medium Texture: Thick Sheen: Matte Relative Opacity: Opaque Extra
heavy body and very opaque. A marble paste made of marble dust and 100% polymer emulsion. Used to build heavy textures on rigid supports and create three-dimensional forms. Dries to the hardness of stone. It can be sanded or carved when thoroughly dry. Can be handled like clay if the top of the container is removed and some of the water is allowed to slowly evaporate until it reaches a clay-like consistency. Adheres to any non-oily, absorbent surface. Drying too quickly causes mud cracking that is usually cosmetic, not structural. When mixed with acrylic colors will act as a weak tinting white, while increasing thickness and rigidity. Excellent substrate for acrylic paint, oil paint, oil pastel, oil bars, watercolor, graphite or dry pastel. DIRECTIONS Apply with knife, brush, cake decorating tools, etc. To prevent shrinkage cracks (mud cracking), dry slowly by covering loosely with plastic wrap. Apply less than 1/4" thick. Mix with acrylic colours to produce a colored tinted paste. When dry, Liquitex Acrylic Modelling Paste may be painted with acrylic or oil colours. APPLICATIONS Sculptural: Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next layer. If cracks appear, allow to dry and fill in with an additional thin layer of Acrylic Modelling Paste. Rigid support: Use straight from the container. Flexible support: Mix Liquitex Acrylic Modelling Paste 50/50 with Gloss Gel Medium, Matte Gel Medium, Gloss Heavy Gel Medium, or Super Heavy Gel Medium. Ground: Apply a thin layer of Liquitex Acrylic Modelling Paste to a rigid surface (i.e. wood), using a palette knife, trowel or roller. Let dry, then sand smooth. Repeat if necessary. Absorbent ground: Mix 1 part Liquitex Acrylic Modelling Paste with 3 parts Liquitex® Acrylic Gesso. Apply with a trowel or roller. Let dry, then sand smooth. Repeat if necessary. Papier-Maché: Mix Liquitex Acrylic Modelling Paste 50/50 with Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium, Matte Gel Medium or Gloss Heavy Gel Medium. Soak the paper in this mixture
