I had made up my mind about using the concoction known as "ground goop," which a lot of you probably know (1 part Celluclay, 1 part Permascene, 1 part earth-colored flat latex paint and 3/4 part of Elmer's white glue). It seemed prety easy to make but the Permascene is no longer available and Vermiculite has been suggested to substitute it. However, I'm concerned with what has been said about vermiculite having asbestos. Do you have any suggestions on what can I use instead of Permascene? Any tip will be greatly appreciated. <span class="smiley">[sigh]</span></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
