Liquitex Modeling Paste
- 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 colors to produce a colored tinted paste.
- When
dry, Acrylic Modeling Paste may be painted with acrylic or oil colors.
- Sculptural:
Apply in thin layers allowing each layer to dry before applying next
layer. If cracks appear, allow to dry and fill in with additional thin
layer of Acrylic Modeling Paste.
- Rigid
support: Use straight from container.
- Flexible
support: Mix Acrylic Modeling 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 Acrylic Modeling Paste to 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 Acrylic Modeling Paste with 3 parts Liquitex® Acrylic Gesso. Apply with trowel or roller. Let
dry, then sand smooth. Repeat if necessary.
