A paste made of marble dust and 100% polymer emulsion with an extra high viscosity. It is used to build heavy textures on rigid supports and create three-dimensional forms. It dries to the hardness of stone and can be sanded or carved when thoroughly dry. It 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. Modeling Paste adheres to any non-oily, absorbent surfaces. If the paste dries too quickly it can cause "mud cracking" that is usually cosmetic, not structural. When it is mixed with acrylic colours it will act as a weak tinting white, while increasing thickness and rigidity. It is an excellent substrate for acrylic paint, oil paint, oil pastel, oil bars, watercolour, graphite or dry pastel.
