I tripped up big time by using too much paint in my PVA... I'll still post my work after the glue dries

Back in the distant mists of time, I seem to recall that one of my kids came across a craft online that involved mixing acrylic paint with corn starch. It made a fairly flexible but sturdy sort of stuff that could be a spill or puddle of something. I'm certain that a bit of experinmentation would yield a suitable formula.

Naw, to have cornstarch ya have to have corn, so no cornstarch has ever been used in Tinker's special sauce.

I have managed to not blow up my shack yet. Thanks to suggestions from you guys my hedges turned out pretty well, but boy, does foam soak up paint or what? |

lol certainly does. A sugestion, patchy instead of a line, it should look a bit more natural. |

Yep, I was just trying out different approaches and "patchy" beats "line" any day :). |

Nice. The bushes in well kept parks and gardens are often cut in straight lines. Oh I forgot this isnt a GW game! Roughing the profile up a bit would help. Take care. The last time I tired this I ended up ripping the hedge in two!

Legionnaire, Well, my little project is a failure as of what I was trying to achieve. The only real success was the used coffee grounds for "REAL ground" cover. Once the new primer gesso dries I'll do a quick paint job and post the results of this little pain in the butt in a new thread. Your results look better all the time too! Tinker |

I prefer neatly trimmed bush. In a line rather then patchy. Please don't post pictures. |
