How to use Beau Paste
Our paste has been designed to use straight from the package and therefore will feel soft and pliable.
Open the top of the pot.
Place the blade of a knife down the side of the paste and ease out.
Dust with cornflour.
Cut into segments like an orange.
Take a segment to work on.
Replace the other segments back in to the pot and close the lid.
Take the desired amount and knead - please use cornflour to knead.
Roll between your hands making it into a sausage shape, fold top to middle and bottom to middle, and roll again between your hands. Repeat using a little cornflour, until you are happy to use it (this should only take a few seconds).
Roll out to the correct thickness and cut out your project.
Re-roll pieces not used and cut again - you will see the paste responds well to being used again and again. You can roll it until it becomes thin and feels like silk.
When you have finished using the product pop it back into the tub ensuring the lid is on. ( Do not wrap in cling film).
Store away from direct sunlight (in a box) and at recommended temperature of 20c. The product can be frozen and does not change its consistency but it must be defrosted at room temperature before using.
Hints and Tips
We have found that you can roll out on a light dusting of cornflour; (take a nappy liner cut in a circle, fill the centre with cornflour, bring up the edges and secure with an elastic band making a little bag of cornflour). Use this for everything from boards to tools.
If you wish to colour our paste then we recommend that you use the "White" paste. Brilliant White has white colour added.
If you are using our flowerpaste where humidity is present, firstly roll out and cut a test piece of the flowerpaste and leave to dry for about 24 hours. This will establish drying time.
We have also developed an edible glue to match our products.
- Shake the bottle before opening.
- Use sparingly.
- The glue likes to be left for a few seconds before building up your project.
- It becomes nice and tacky when used, rather than wet.
