Paper Mache Clay Without Joint Compound

If we make Paper Mache Clay without joint compound, will it come out just as good as the original recipe?

What about the Silky-Smooth Air Dry Clay recipe? (Same ingredients, different proportions...)

People kept asking me if it was possible, so I decided to find out.

Although we should do more experiments to get the measurements more exact, I think the result may be (gasp!) even better than my original recipes that use the drywall joint compound.

This new mixture sticks to the armature as well as the original paper mache clay, holds really fine details just as well as my air dry clay recipe, and it dried hard as a rock. But it isn't easy to mix in the beginning while it's still really sticky.

If you try this, let us know how it came out. And if you have ideas for mixing it without making a mess, let us know that, too. 😀

You can buy 4# of powdered marble from amazon.com here: https://amzn.to/2XAbdwM - that's enough for over 8 batches of the air dry clay recipe. If you need more than that it's a lot less expensive if you get it in bigger bags. Azure Standard sells 50# for about $25 - but they have an unusual way of delivering their product, so read about that before ordering. https://bit.ly/3a65e5d
