Materials:\n\ndrywall mud\ntwo 6" steel drywall trowel blades\nplastic gloves\nelectric drill\nmixing blade\nnatural marine sponge\nAquaGlaze\nBenjamin Moore AquaPearl paints (#1180, #1232, #164 and #167 - Old Gold)\npaint tray\nrags\n9" paint roller with 1/2" lambskin sleeve\n\nKnockdown\n\nSteps:\n\n   1. Mix drywall mud with five to 15 percent water to create a thick slurry (not so thin that it is runny).\n   2. While wearing plastic gloves, apply the slurry with one hand, covering a 3' x 3' area at a time. Apply so it is an even consistency.\n   3. With the same hand, pat the mud creating spikes in the material.\n   4. Using the steel trowel blade, lightly knock down the spikes. This will create smooth areas on top and pitted areas below. Let dry.\n   5. Apply two basecoats of any color (#1180 is featured) and let dry.\n   6. Mix four parts AquaGlaze with one part #1232 to make a glaze.\n   7. Roll on the glaze in a 4' x 4' area and wipe off with a rag. This will allow the glaze color to sink into the pitted areas and be mostly removed from the flat higher areas. \n\nSkip Trowel\n\nSteps:\n\n   1. Same as Step #1 above.\n   2. Put on plastic gloves and apply the slurry using the steel trowel. Look for pitting and graceful trowel lines. Use only a little on the blade at a time and create the texture by holding the blade at different angles to the wall and with varying pressure. Work in 3' x 3' sections around the room and let dry.\n   3. Apply two basecoats of any color (#164 was featured).\n   4. Mix up four parts AquaGlaze with one part #167 to make a glaze.\n   5. Roll on the glaze in a 4' x 4' area and wipe off with a rag. This will allow the glaze color to sink into the pitted areas and be mostly removed from the flat higher areas. \n\nSponge\n\nSteps:\n\n   1. Same as Step #1 above.\n   2. Put on plastic gloves and apply the slurry using a sponge in a swirl/arch motion . Try to keep the look consistent.\n   3. Apply two basecoats of any color (#164 was featured).\n   4. Mix four parts AquaGlaze with one part #167 to make a glaze.\n   5. Roll on the glaze in a 4' x 4' area and wipe off with a rag. This will allow the glaze color to sink into the pitted areas and be mostly removed from the flat higher areas.

If gloop is like slime, then here's the directions.....\n\n\nIngredients:\n1/2 cup white glue \n6 Tbsp. water \nFood coloring \n1-4 tsp. Borax \n1-4 Tbsp. water \n \nDirections:\nMix the glue, 6 tablespoons water and food coloring until it is dissolved. \n\nIn a separate bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon borax into 1 tablespoon water. Add to the glue solution. You will get a very thick clump of slime when the two mix. Pull the clump of slime out of the glue mixture and put it in a separate bowl. \n\nMix another batch of the borax solution and add to the remaining glue mixture. Repeat until all the glue mixture is used (about 3-4 times). \n\nWith clean hands, knead the slime to mix. This will take about 10 minutes and is not very difficult as the slime easily separates between your fingers. \n\nIf a looser, more slimy texture is desired knead in a bit more water. The more water you add, the slimier it gets. \n\nThe slime doesn't leave a residue and doesn't get stuck on anything. \n\nStore in an airtight container. This can easily be doubled, tripled or quadrupled.

To mix songs:\nClick and drag both songs from the explorer into your project. They will each make their own track. Use the paint tool (looks like a paint brush) to "paint" each track. They will then be mixed.\n\nTo get the static sound:\nSelect the "ACID FX" tab at the bottom of the screen. Check off (either) "EQ" and/(or) "Distortion." Adjust the Treble, Mid and Slew settings to control the amount of static.\n\nFor online manual:\nGo to the "Help" menu and select "Contents and Index."\n\nHope I helped! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

This is a small barrel tumbler that comes with tumbling grit. To make it work, you should fill the barrel with about 1/4 inch of water, about 2/3 full of rocks and then grit. You want a mix of water and grit that doesn't just wash off of the stones when the barrel turns, so you want it to be a slurry consistency like a paste almost. The idea is to have the grit stick to the rocks. \n\nIdeally, you want to polish your rocks in steps, using progressively finer grit each time, and finally a polishing compound. You start with coarse grit, a second finer grit, a third grit, and a polishing step. Each step may take as long as a week of tumbling. \n\nSand is a very poor tumbling grit, and will take much more tumbling time to produce the same result, plus you cannot use sand for any rock that is not softer than quartz, and many attractive tumbled rocks are some variety of quartz. \n\nHere is a detailed explanation:\nhttp://www.gemservice.com/lapidary.htm

If you are using Windows, Paint is the best way AFAIK. Open Paint and then under Image select Stretch/Skew.

To make the paste: \n1/2 cup all-purpose flour \n2 cups cold water \n2 cups boiling water \n3 tbsp. sugar \n\nMix together flour and cold water in a bowl. \nAdd this mixture to the boiling water and allow it to return to a boil. \nRemove from heat and stir in the sugar. \nAs the mixture cools it will thicken as it does. \nYou can also just make a quicky paste by putting flour in a bowl and adding water until you have kind of a soupy paste. \nIf you're planning to make something you want to last for years and years, be aware that flour paste can get moldy, especially in humid environments. \nYou might want to try using powdered wall paper adhesive (non-pourous) mixed with water. \nIt comes in milk carton type containers and you can find it anywhere wallpaper is sold. \nBe sure to cover your work area with lots of newspaper or wax paper - papier mache can get very messy! \n\n\n\n\nHere is another way to make it and the part about the painting\n\nGetting started \n\nPapier mache is really easy to do, and there are very few requirements. \n\nYou will need... \n\n- Paper (newsprint is ideal)\n- Adhesive\n- Paintbrush\n- Plastic table covering\n- Paints\n- Patience!\n\nIt is advisable to prepare everything before starting. Firstly, tear the newspaper into strips about an inch wide by 4 inches long. This is only approximate. Tear the paper with the grain.\n\nMake your adhesive. There are many different recipes but below you will find the most common.\n\nPapier mache recipes for adhesive \n\nNote: all adhesives can be used with both layering and pulp methods of papier mache.\n\n1 - Flour and water glue:\n\nTo make a flour and water glue follow these instructions:\n\nBoil 5 cups of water in a saucepan.\n\nIn a bowl, mix 1/4 cup of sieved flour with a cup of cold water. Mix to a smooth consistency (a bit like making custard). When completely free of lumps, add the mixture to the water in the saucepan. Gently boil, stirring constantly for two or three minutes until the mixture thickens.\n\nAllow to cool before using.\n\nThis will make a runny glue. If you prefer a very thick glue (or if you are in a hurry for it to dry) use this recipe instead:\n\nThick flour and water glue:\n\nUse 1 whole cup of flour to three cups of water. Make using the same method as above.\n\n2 - Wallpaper paste glue:\n\nMake up a bowl according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a little less water than recommended if preferred. Keep in an airtight container. It will keep for several days in a fridge or a cool place. Wallpaper paste has the advantage of containing a fungicide to prevent mould. \n\nNote: It is not a good idea to let children use wallpaper paste in case they put their fingers in their mouths.\n\n3 - White (pva[?]) glue\n\nSlightly water down the glue in a bowl and use straight away.\n\nWhen you have decided which glue to use, the next thing to do is to decide what to make. To start is it advisable to use something to mould on.\n\n\nPainting papier mache \n\nVirtually any paint can be used to paint your papier mache artwork. The most popular paint is water based acrylic. It is easy and clean to use, not too expensive and comes in a large variety of colours. It is also quick drying.\n\nPoster paints can be used but you have to be careful not to use a water based varnish on them or the colours will smudge. \n\nYou can use up old gloss or enamel paints that you have lying around. The important thing to remember is that whatever paint you use, you must seal your work first. A household emulsion[?] paint is ideal. A couple of coats should do it.
