Watching a conservator at the library in Portland taught me to chill out with my paste
She used a 1:6 wheat paste to water ratio and said 'it should feel like thin cream, not glue'. Has anyone else found that a weaker mix actually gives you more working time on leather?

How much longer does the thin mix last before it gets tacky?

It's just paint, not a race.

Yeah but what's the rush then? I mean if it's not a race, why even bring it up?
