Fish Filler Mache

Original Formula Fish Filler Mache

Directions:

Contents will settle during shipping! Stir fish filler before use!

Important: Due to the nature of this product, there is no consistent set or cure time established. Temperature, humidity, stir time, water temperature and water pH all dramatically affect the set time!

1. If the set time is too slow, add a small amount of salt to speed the set time up, hot water will also speed up the set time. The more the mixture is stirred the quicker it will set.

2. If the mache is setting to quickly use cold water to slow the cure time. Alternatively, add flour to the mix to retard the set time. In addition, the less mixture is stirred, the slower it will set.

To achieve the correct mix thickness, pour 16 fluid ounces of water into 20 to 22 weight ounces of Van Dyke's Fish Filler. The filler should have the consistency of soft clay, but not the weight. This stiff mixture is then firmly packed into the fish skin. Work the mixture firmly into the head and throat area; fill small areas one at a time to avoid trapped air bubbles. As the fish filler begins to set or cure, work the show side of the fish smooth.
