Lascaux Modeling Paste A Natural Smooth 2050

Lascaux Modelling Paste A, B, C
Composition
Thickened pure acrylic resin dispersion with highgrade
calcite filler, finely ground. Modelling Pastes B
and C contain quartz sand additionally.
Properties
- flexible, elastic hard
- have excellent adhesion properties
- do not crack in thicker layers
- are waterproof once dry and can be over painted
- Modelling Paste A: dry to a smooth surface
- Modelling Paste B: dry to a rough surface
- Modelling Paste C: dry to a very rough surface
Applications
- relief-type applications
- for impasto painting: gives paint more body and
extends paint volume
- use in collage and mosaics for imbedding materials
- for use in texturing grounds (fresco like) or
substrates
- restoration work
Directions
Modelling Pastes are used undiluted in any final layer
thickness. However, the paste should never be applied
in layers of more than 1 cm (2/5˝) at a time in order to
keep drying times reasonably short. When completely
dry, layers can be covered with more paste or painted
with acrylics as desired. A certain amount of shrinkage
takes place due to evaporation as the paste dries, but
there is no crack formation.
Modelling Pastes can also be added to Lascaux Acrylic
colours in any ratio for impasto painting. When mixing
colours with the various Natural Modelling Pastes,
colours will hardly be altered.
The paste gives a slight body to transparent washes.
The strongest modelling effect is obtained by applying
the paste unmixed and overpainting with Lascaux
Acrylic colours when dry.
Fabric, stones, wood, bits of metal and other materials
can be embedded in the paste for collages. The
powerful grip of the acrylic base provides an excellent
anchorage. In restoration work, Modelling Pastes can
be used to supplement impasto, relief, fresco plaster
or for stopping cracks.
Modelling Pastes B and C are suitable for fresco-type
priming on virtually all supports. Mixed with Lascaux
Primer, it gives a fine grainy surface that is easy to
paint.
Notes
Physiologically and toxicologically safe in conventional
usage. USA: conforms to ASTM D-4236.

Lascaux Structura®
Composition
Pure acrylic resin dispersion with modified quartz filler
Properties
- a fine, granular modelling paste
- extremely light weight
- age and light resistant
- elastic hard, can be sanded
- has very good adhesion
Applications
- to texture painting grounds
- to build surface dimension
- the light weight makes Structura ideal for the
use in large works
- for collagesDirections
As a painting ground Structura can be applied, directly
or diluted with water, in several layers; also in mixtures
with Lascaux Primer, Gesso or Studio White, depending
on the desired absorption and texture.
Supports which are very absorbent should first be
impregnated; with Lascaux Medium 1, Acryl Transparent
Varnish 1 gloss or Hydro-Sealer (approx. diluted
1:4 with water). Heavy impastos should be built in
several layers to reduce the drying time.
Structura Natural can be mixed with all Lascaux
colours; due to its minimal tinting strength the hues will
hardly be altered. Thanks to the fine texture the intensity
of the colours will be enhanced. This is especially
apparent in mixtures with Lascaux Aquacryl colours, as
well as with glazes on Structura grounds.
Finished works can be varnished for protection with
Lascaux Transparent Varnish.
