Not sure on paper mache, as long as a good quality paint is used to seal and finish I can't see a problem. There is a thread somewhere on here I seem to be remember for making salt dough hides, they looked good too.  |

| i'm sure PVA will be fine providing it's properly dried and doesn't smell any more |

| The only possible issue with using pva is that it's water based, so if snakie does a partularly runny poo on it then there's a small chance that area will become gluey again. In which case it would just be a matter of cleaning the poo up and waiting for a few hours for the glue to dry again. |

| You could use PVA glue if you then use like spme kind of spray paint or water proof paint ontop but bearing in mind, sometimes glue does not want paint ontop of it :( It all depends on the glue type and I would try a small test first to see how glue reacts to the paint if you choose to use any. |
