SFS001 (Ref. code)
This flower paste has a silky smooth texture and a pleasant strawberry scent. It is very easy to roll out, retains impressive detail after unmoulding.
It does not dry out quickly, which allows you to work with it for a long time (no pinholes will form, even when rolling out the ultra-thin paste). For example, when making very thin transparent butterfly wings, it will not crack, break or stick.
This paste is perfect for those with hot hands who need a slightly firmer paste.
It can be tinted with liquid, gel, powder, food colouring... it is perfectly adapted to many full glazing and steaming techniques to fix the colours.
It requires minimal kneading, its consistency adheres perfectly to floral wires creating textured stems, twisting techniques, invisible joints of natural leaves and bark effects.
Of particular note is the ability to use a hot hairdryer to give extra movement to dried petals or leaves - it works wonders!
It performs brilliantly in high humidity and/or high temperature environments, while retaining its shape. The flower paste recipe is predominantly starch-based, which allows the surface of the paste to absorb moisture from the atmosphere, so that in the warmer summer months, the paste dries much firmer, while in the winter months, the paste yields a little more and remains slightly flexible.
