I am making a fake Christmas Pudding from Polystyrene and I'd like to have fake custard/cream poured over it.
I've been trying to find something that will work and look convincing but so far no joy.
I've been covering the pudding in cling film so that it doesn't get destroyed each time I find a way that doesn't work, thinking I can glue the successful attempt on exactly where I want it.
So far I've tried;
pva mixed with acrylic paint - settled too much and the creases in the film were visible.
acrylic sealant mixed with a little gesso and acrylic paint - a bit better, but refused to leave the cling film, stayed tacky, and looked a little too matt.
I read on a blog called fake-n-bake that acrylic caulk, acrylic paint and acrylic gloss medium will work, but I thought I'd post here and see if anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks.
