Tips/Hints

  • Prep boards: For flour I use sifted flour stuck to a thin film of Elmer's adhesive spray or a cheap extra-hold hairspray. (The smell of either is enough to keep bugs away I guess, because I've never had problems with any critters going after it, but if you're worried use baby powder or corn-starch. ) Cut a hole the approximate size and shape you want the flour to cover in the middle of piece of paper, then use this as a mask to shield the rest of the surface from the spray. Spray, then quickly remove the mask and sprinkle a spoonful of flour over the sprayed area. A heavy coat will ensure good coverage. Leave for a few minutes to dry. NOTE: Do not spread the flour around or press it down or you'll get lumps! When it looks dry, turn the object upside down over a garbage can and tap the back firmly several times to remove the loose flour. Turn right-side up and blow off any loose bits that didn't fall off, or remove them with a soft-bristled paintbrush. Large bald spots can be touched up by spraying the tip of a paintbrush with the adhesive or hairspray, and applying the spray to the bald spot followed by flour, but a few small bald or thin spots add realism. Toss a teaspoon of flour on your counter from a foot above the surface to see what I mean. Air currents in the room, how fast the spoon was moving when you tipped it, the distance dropped, what it may have hit on the way down, all of these factors make for "imperfect" spills. <VBG>
  • Cut cookie sheets from tin foil pie plates, also make lasagna pans by bending up the sides.
