This is soooo much better than the other papier mache recipes I've used; guess it's the boiling water and sugar that make all the difference. Not lumpy at all. We used it over balloons to make globes for geography study...a layer or two a day for about three days made them rock solid - even the two yr old dropping them didn't make a dent. Think we'll use it next over empty juice concentrate cans for artsy pencil holders. :o) Thanks!!
