FAQs

Can I paint over Pebeo Modelling Paste?

Yes, once the paste is completely dry, you can paint over it with acrylic paints or apply inks and washes.

How long does the paste take to dry?

Drying time depends on the thickness of the application and ambient humidity, but generally, thin layers dry in a few hours while thicker reliefs may take 24 hours.

Is this paste suitable for children?

While the product is non-toxic, it is designed for artists and hobbyists; adult supervision is recommended for younger users.

Can I mix this with oil paints?

No, this is a water-based acrylic medium and is not compatible with oil-based paints.

Will the paste shrink when it dries?

Pebeo Modelling Paste is formulated for minimal shrinkage, meaning the 3D shapes you create will maintain their form.

Can I sand the paste once dry?

Yes, once fully cured, the paste can be sanded lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out edges or refine details.

Troubleshooting

The paste is cracking after drying

You may have applied the layer too thickly in one go. Try applying the paste in thinner, multiple layers, allowing each to dry before adding the next.

Paste is difficult to spread

Ensure your palette knife is clean. If the paste is cold or has been stored for a long time, stir it gently to restore its creamy, velvety consistency.

Tools are hard to clean

Soak the tools in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes. Use a scouring pad if the paste has started to set on metal surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains sharp peaks and textures without shrinking significantly
  • Easy to clean up with soap and water while wet
  • Excellent for building up layers with stencils
  • Vegan-friendly formulation

Cons

  • Drying time increases with the thickness of the application
  • May crack if applied in extremely thick layers too quickly
  • Only available in a white base color

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the paste, ensure your surface (canvas, wood, or cardboard) is clean and dry. Apply the paste using a spatula or painting knife; avoid using brushes as the thick consistency can damage bristles.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with all water-based acrylic paints. Do not mix with oil paints.
  • Cleaning: Always clean your tools with soap and water immediately after use. If the paste dries on the spatula, it may require mechanical scraping.
  • Storage: Keep the jar tightly closed when not in use to prevent the paste from drying out. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
