Molding Paste has a slightly grayer color than the light molding paste and a higher density. When dry, the surface of molding paste is quite a bit harder than the light molding paste. It does not hold as high of a peak as the light molding paste. You can carve into molding paste.
Hard molding paste is not as flexible as either molding paste or the light molding paste. The only time that I have ever used hard molding paste was to obtain a smooth raised stencil on a piece of furniture.
I was able to sand it smooth enough that it became an integral part of the furniture surface. When using molding paste, I use either paper or canvas for a substrate. The paper that I favor is lb. It is heavy enough to take the weight of the paste. But it is still light enough to tear and cut easily to build up layered collages. You can add acrylic paint to all of the molding pastes to tint them. But the pastes are white and therefore they lighten the color that is added.
I first build my textures with the molding paste and then paint them with fluid acrylics. This also allows me to blend and glaze with the color, getting a good mixture of color and texture.
My favorite thing to do with molding paste is to stencil with it. You can use either plastic or brass stencils to do this. You will get a sharper definition of your image with the brass stencils. But sometimes, the plastic stencils are a better choice because you get a better integration with the surface. For background textures I prefer less definition.
For textures that I am going to use as a focal point I like the higher definition of the metal stencils. The best tool that I have found for stenciling with molding paste is a plastic palette knife. The handle of the knife keeps my fingers out of the paste and the flexibility of the knife allows me to push the molding paste down into the open areas of the stencil. I then scrape it over the stencil evenly with the palette knife.
Once it is spread evenly over the stencil, I take the side of the knife and scrap off the excess paste. The only paste then left, is that which is in the open areas of the stencil.
The other areas of the stencil have been scraped almost clean. Once you have reached this stage, carefully and slowly lift up the stencil. You will have a raised image on your paper or canvas! If you apply it thickly and then dry it too fast, shrinkage cracks can occur. For thick applications, cover it loosely with plastic wrap to avoid cracks and if they do appear, allow to dry and fill in with another thin layer of paste.
