A lightweight additive to texturise cement or plaster into dimensional artwork on walls, fired ceramics, wood or framed canvas.
Wall 2D sculpture art starts with dry mixing by volume 1 part texture filler powder to 3 parts cement or premix mortar and adjust latter accordingly to workability. Add sufficient water to suit project workability. Sculpt on a clean wall with pallet knife of notched trowel. Allow sculpted artwork to cure 7 days before undercoating followed by painting. Colored insitu mortar artwork dry mix color iron oxide powder or blend different oxides. for rough texture cement mix clean dry pebbles by volumes 1:1:3 parts cement. Similar procedure on fired glazed or underglazed decorative ceramic wares. flower pots, fish pool as a permanent outdoor decorative art.
Indoor sculpture art with plaster of paris works in same procedure as cement. Adjust workability ratio with more texture filler powder or plaster. Seal with Multifilla matt sealer before acrylic painting and final waterproof with H2O as protective gloss finish.
Perfect economical wall filler to level uneven flaking plaster or peeling paints layers. Dry mix texture additive with Plaster of Paris with water and tint with emulsion paint as base color. Trowel with dampen steel float to surface level the cleaned dust free surface. Patch nail holes, flaked plaster holes before levelling. Over wall skirting with ground rising dampness and large plaster holes, mix texture powder with water repellent premix mortar or cement for a firm durable water resistant grouting and levelling.
For dimensional canvas art and mix media art, apply modelling glue to canvas before sculpting with plaster additive mix. Work in sections as glue becomes tacky and not completely dried. For textured acrylic painting mix acrylic or oil paints direct to texture additive into a texture paint. Ideal additive to Plaster or landscape plaster as lightweight diorama construction. Landscape plaster is a combination of rock like lumps and powder ideal for mountains, river valley and cliff.
Decorative art as wood carvings, mix gloss paints, plaster or cement and texture filler powder into 2D art on kiln dried hardwood. Paint over when completely dried.
Play sand formulation with clean dry sand in varying powder ratio to suit sand particles sizes. Sprinkle water and mix into a cohesive non toxic play sand or create sand sculptures.
Paper mache mix texture filler powder with shredded paper mash or cellulose fibres. Strong paper mache sculptures mix in plaster powder or cement as paper crete. Color insitu with color iron oxides pigments.
Texture filler powder is lightweight, retards drying and modifies rheology for better workability. Reduces drying shrinkages and minimises cracks. Sands well and smooth. Permits drilling. An ideal filler for wood, furniture gaps, door frames and cracks by mixing with Americana acrylic paints available in wide range of colors to match as base color before over painting with similar paints. Works with oil paints too as in mix media art using solvent oil paints, printing inks or glue instead of water with texture filler into 2 dimensional art.
