Make paper mache pulp

Step 4Put the glue in!

Put the glue in!
After you have everything drained and it's in your container put your white glue in! Contrary to what I have pictured, it's a lot easier if you just completely take the top off and just POUR the glue on because you're going to need a lot of it! For just that little amount that I had there I used more than half the bottle of glue!

Again, it's hard to really tell you how MUCH glue to really put in, except to say "a lot", but all you can really do is just judge for yourself. What I do is just feel it out.

After you put the glue in, it's time to get your hands dirty!! Just dig right in! Start kneading the pulp just like you would dough. Get all the glue worked into it. And if it isn't enough glue then put some more in. The way I usually work it is when I'm kneading the pulp, I start to add more glue when there are still dry feeling areas of pulp.

I am wondering if I can use Gesso instead of the white glue for this step ? I don't have any white glue now and i have a boat load of gesso .. so do you think that might work instead of the white glue ?

I tried to make a comment, but was told it was 'not formatted correctly'. Have NO idea what that means.
