How to use it

Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
Use on rigid supports only
Apply with knife or tool
Tint with acrylic color to make a colored paste
Can be handled like 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
If cracks appear, allow to dry and fill in with another thin layer of paste
Ensure paste is completely dry before sanding, carving or drilling into
Overpaint once dry with acrylics or most other media
To use as a ground - apply a thin layer to rigid surface with knife/trowel/roller, leave to dry, sand smooth and repeat if needed
To make an absorbent ground, mix 1 part Modeling Paste to 3 parts Liquitex Gesso, apply with a trowel/roller, leave to dry, sand smooth and repeat if needed
For flexible supports, ideally use Flexible Modeling Paste, but you can mix Modeling Paste 50/50 with Gloss/Matte Gel/Gloss Heavy Gel
For paper-mache, soak paper in a 50/50 mix of Modeling Paste and Gloss/Matte Gel/Gloss Heavy Gel
Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments or aggregates
