"Celluclay" Mix dialed in.

Hey all,
Here is a more or less accurate receipe for Celluclay diorama ground texture. It can also be used for applying mud to vehicles,figures, the dog etc.. The secret came from reading the instructions on the containers. That brought the cure time way down and also made it more predictable. Some variation is to be expected.
   Fast Mache is at Hobby Lobby and is white in color. I used Dap instead of Durham's water putty and "yellow" carpenter's glue works better than white glue. Read the instructions carefully. Mix in a container that is smooth and easy to use for the particular tool you are using so you can stir out any lumps as quickly as possible. I've found one of those roller paint brushes can help spread out the material if the surface your using is relatively flat.
