Re: DIY Home-made "realistic" Hides
Okay, so I did this recepie and it was way too wet, had to add more flour.
So far it has been in the oven for 6 hrs and is still slightly spongy. I don't think I made it too thick? 1 hr definately wasn't long enough for mine.
It looks really nice though. I bought some similar paint, they didn't have exact stuff, but it is the same brand.
I'm wondering, should the can say it's waterproof? And, should I spray the specled paint first then the clear coat?
Thanks.

Does anyone else have any tips on how to make these completely waterproof? Mine are in the oven, but I don't want them to mush up on the snake.
once fully dried shellac is non-toxic and safe to use on food serving/ eating dishes, toys, etc. I thought the same thing, googled it, and verified the safety by various sites. That's what I'm going to use to seal mine as soon as they cool!
Re: DIY Home-made "realistic" Hides
Has anyone had any problems not painting theirs? I'm just planning on sealing mine with shellac and using those, i figure they'd be easier to see when they need cleaning, and i don't want to put too much money/ effort into these first ones cos' i know i'm going to screw something up... anyone else not paint theirs and have good results?
