Can you share what was your light weight fibrous material
I wish I were able to share the product but it came in a unmarked plastic container. It came from my artistic and crafty mother but she's been gone now for several years. She helped with first Nipper projects making suggestions and giving me some of her plaster. When I cleaned out her house I brought the container home with me. Sorry...

Really Nice!! I like that "Satin Almond" color-- Years ago I worked on a small plaster Nipper and used a basic white paint- It just looked too "new" and bright. That almond paint gives it instant "aging" and a look of patina. I really like what you've done, Jerry.

"Can you share what was your light weight fibrous material
exactly? I have used different types and some seem to work better than others."


This looks like a good substitute: 3M High Strength Large Hole Repair, for indoor/outdoor
repairs. It's fibre reinforced and is IDEAL FOR repairing large holes, cracks and damaged surfaces
