Review on πŸ–ŒοΈ Elmer's Art Paste for Paper Mache, 2oz by Michelle Langley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best glue for paper mache!

The most satisfactory product, delivered promptly. A word of caution to art teachers though - the instructions I've found are deceiving! The powder takes much longer to dissolve than the instructions suggest. I used a 4 liter glass bottle to mix the glue. Fill the bottle about 2/3 full with water and then add about 2/3 of the contents of the box. Shake vigorously for 3-4 minutes or more! Wait a day or two or more until the solution is clear and not too clumpy. Then add the remaining water and powder and shake vigorously again for 3-4 minutes or more. Leave the solution. In a day, two or three everything will be clear. Directions are not accurate from my experience. If anyone has had better experiences please let me know how I can replicate it! If you want to make paper mache with your students, prepare the glue beforehand. It's not "loot". NONETHELESS! This material is far superior to the typical paper mache recipes I used as a kid and those that are still available. It's worth the effort and the small (very small) extra cost. It won't get moldy or smelly. It doesn't attract pests. After drying, it becomes transparent and hard, like an eggshell. The last word - it is easily washed off hands and clothes.
