1. Paper mache doesn’t like to be hurried. Take it slow and easy, and do it right.
2. If you live in a humid area, stay away from flour and water paste
or wallpaper paste – they
have a tendency to mildew. Use a white PVA glue like Elmer’s
or Dap.
3. Allow your paper mache layers ample time to dry. Apply
only a couple of layers, then go on
to another project while the first is drying.
4. If you find bubbles or loose areas in your work, cut them open,
tear them back and re-glue
securely.
