No more searching for the right joint compound for paper mache clay! This new recipe doesn’t use PVA glue, so you can use any brand of pre-mixed drywall joint compound.
😊 I love this new paper mache clay. It feels nice, it takes very fine details when sculpting with it, and it dries very hard and strong. If you try it, please leave a comment and let us know if you like it as much as I do.
Remember - this is a form of paper mache, not a 'real' clay. It should be used in thin layers over an armature so it can dry quickly. You can add new layers over dried layers, to build up more details.

After playing with this for about a week, I am now recommending that we use it in fairly thin layers (1/4" or less) to make sure it can dry quickly. This is the same recommendation I have for all my other paper mache clay recipes. Because this material dries so hard, a very thin layer will be very strong.

Good morning thank you for letting us know I wanted to ask you have you ever made mermaid scales🤔 with any of your recipes😊 and I also have left your previous messages what do you do with your joint compound to prevent mold from growing in the container?

@UltimatePaperMache 3 месяца назад

@@noemid1458 I haven't made a mermaid yet, but I did use the silky-smooth air dry clay for dragon scales. You can see that video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OD75KajMrkM.html I don't actually know how to keep mold from growing in the joint compound container after it's open. It doesn't seem to happen with the DAP brand, so that might be another reason to use this no-glue recipe.

Thank you for this! Can you use this with a traditional gesso mold? If you can, should you uae vaseline to detach it after its dry? I inagine it takes a day at leats to dry? Thank you again.

@UltimatePaperMache Месяц назад

I have never seen the term "gesso mold" before, so I'm not sure what that is. However, this recipe would really only work in small, candy-sized molds, because it shrinks as it dries. If you apply a thin layer to a silicone mold, it curls up as it dries and distorts the shape.

@porcelinaiscariot Месяц назад

Thank you for replying. Sorry, English is not my first language. What I meant was a mold for a mask, made of plaster. I use the paper bits technique but your recipe seems very interesting, and I wonder if it could be used instead. Thank you again for replying and the videos.

Hi Joni, Can you please tell me if you can roll out this paper mache clay at all or do you have any recipes to make a paper clay that can be rolled out?

@UltimatePaperMache 2 месяца назад

I haven't tried it myself, but I think it could work if you add enough corn starch to keep it from sticking to the table and the roller. I think Mark Smith was using the Air Dry clay recipe when he made this video for us: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CwWr1dB7od8.html - but this new recipe should work the same, if it's made thick enough. Still, I think you'll need to do some experiments to see if it will work for you. If the rolled-out pieces are fairly large, and they dry on a table with no air underneath them, they may curl up as they dry.

At the end, I would add a small amount of food grade diatomaceous earth and possibly some boric acid. Both help to kill bugs that might be attracted to the components. I did figure out how to really make papercrete durable in wetter environments - use resin and fiberglass cloth similar to how some pools are made. If papercrete is used for construction, it probably won't be as wet as pool use, and I think for pools that top coat might last for about 10 years. Still need to test that. Xylitol might be better than sugar, too. It absolutely tastes like sugar to humans, but it is poisonous to almost everything else..

I don't think you have to prime it, if you don't want to. A coat of gesso makes it a little easier to get nice bright colors, but it's really up to you.

I'm not sure - I didn't put mine in the fridge, and as an experiment I just let it sit on the table uncovered after making this video. It's drying out very slowly, and so far it hasn't had a hint of mold. It should continue to stay workable until you take the cover off, because there's no plaster in it to make it get hard before it dries. But we need to play with it longer to know for sure if it needs to be refrigerated or not.

@UltimatePaperMache 3 месяца назад

You don't need the glue between layers. But I haven't had time to see if a really thick layer will dry evenly, and without trapping moisture inside. I have a lump of it sitting on my desk, slowly drying, and so far I don't see any cracking - but we'll have to use it for a few more projects before we really know it's limitations. If you do some experiments, please let us know what you learn.

Hi again. I wanted to let you know that the very thick piece (over an inch) that I left on my table has still not dried completely, and it is getting some signs of mildew. So I'm recommending much thinner layers. You probably won't want to go over 1/4" except for details.

I've never made puppets, but this method of making doll heads might work for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aTRjfrDi_Ec.html

Sugar in cement slows the hardening process, giving you time to work it , so maybe it also allows the paste to keep plastisity longer...?

@UltimatePaperMache 2 месяца назад

That's possible. :)

I teach 9-12 art and would like to incorporate this into my existing 3D curriculum. Do you think I could multiply the recipe? I know sometimes doubling a recipe doesn’t work so good with thickeners.

@UltimatePaperMache Месяц назад

Yes, that should work, but you might want to do a small test first - just doubling the batch for your first try. It's quite stiff, so it could be difficult to mix if the batch is too large.

Hi.. thank you for sharing your lovely works and recipes. I need to make a huge leaf. Around 6 feet in length. Was looking for the right material. If i use an MDF base to support a big paper mache leaf using this recipe.. would it work? How do you think can i make the leaf stick to the mdf well?

@UltimatePaperMache 2 месяца назад

It might help to put some glue on the mdf first - but I really have never tried doing anything like that. The paper mache clay will shrink slightly as it dries, and that could make it crack when place over such a large area. You might want to do an experimental piece first to make sure it will work the way you need it to.

@hahsnarik 23 дня назад

I'm starting on it tomorrow. I've changed my mind. Will be using cardboards taped together to make the big leaf. Will use newspaper strips dipped in glue to secure the structure together once dried.. then will use paper mache clay. Ofcourse your recipe. Hope it works out well. Thank you for responding to my messages :)). r@@UltimatePaperMache

How toxic is the joint compound? 😬😬😬

@UltimatePaperMache 3 месяца назад

You don't want to sand it without a mask, because silica is in the mix. It's always present when the limestone is mined, but it isn't really 'toxic.' It's just a really fine powder that you don't want in your lungs. I almost never sand my paper mache clay because there are better ways to make it smooth, but if you really feel like you need to do that, wear a mask.

How long last this mixture and how do you store?

@UltimatePaperMache 2 месяца назад

You should put it in a covered container and stick it in the fridge if you can't use it up in a couple of days. It should last a week in the fridge - but it's best to make small batches and use them as soon as you can, as you would with any kind of paper mache. After it dries on the armature and it's painted and sealed, it will last for years.

thank you so much! How is it preserved? in the fridge? how long? Is it the same recipe if I use cardboard egg box instead of paper?

@UltimatePaperMache 2 месяца назад

I tend to use mine up the same day I make it, but if you like to make bigger batches, you should be able to keep it covered in the fridge for a few days. If you keep it wet too long, it will attract mildew. If you need to keep it longer, you can put it in the freezer - or just make smaller batches so you don't have a lot left over. I have never tried using egg cartons - you'd need to experiment to find out if it works.

Does this clay work well as a thick layer or does it need to be thinner layers only? Thanks!

@UltimatePaperMache 3 месяца назад

I had a lump of it left after making the Stargazer Man, and I left it on the table to dry. It's about an inch thick, and about 2 1/2 inches square. I hasn't cracked, but it still isn't completely dry - it's really humid here right now, so it's drying very slowly. It hasn't shown any sign of mold, but it might not have had time for that yet. The surface is dry in some areas, but still damp in others. I'll keep watching it to see what happens. So - at this point, I think it's worth experimenting with thicker layers. If you do that, please let us know what you learn. 😊

@UltimatePaperMache 3 месяца назад

OK, after almost a week, the very thick piece I left on the table is still not entirely dry, and it is showing signs of mildew. So now we know that we need to use thinner layers. 1/4" is probably the thickest we should use, except for details.

@shawnafraker8663 3 месяца назад

thank you for the printable pdf. sugar i think ads a binding agent to the flour and starch and the vinegar is a mold/ fungus/ critter deterrent so it's doesn't grow things or make things want to eat it

@UltimatePaperMache 3 месяца назад

You're welcome. And yes, I think you're right about the sugar. I left the mixture on the table without covering it, just to see what happens. It's been drying, very slowly, and so far there's no hint of mold. 😊

How long does it take to dry?

@UltimatePaperMache Месяц назад

It depends on how thickly it's applied, the humidity in the room, whether or not you have a fan turned on, the temperature, etc. - in other words, I can't answer that question. Just be sure to make sure it dries all the way through before painting it.

@UltimatePaperMache 3 месяца назад

Yes, there's always shrinkage when water-based products dry. But it doesn't seem to shrink a whole lot. You won't want to use it over a really hard object, like a glass bottle, though, or it will crack as it dries.

Thanks for the work that you done on the new clay. I like the one with the glue but if the new one works then that is great too. I swear that you are part engineer. part scientist, a lot artist and just a wonderful sharing person. You would do great at making bread. Nothing like fresh bread out of the oven. It is always good to see you.
