How to Dry Paper-Mache in the Microwave.

I'd like to share a very quick way of making and drying paper mache.
I have lots of quick tutorials and ideas for you to follow.
Flour - I also add a little corn flour (corn starch in USA) and cold water glue and white printing paper strips in a Pyrex dish lined with Cling Each layer dried in a microwave on medium setting for about 20-30 seconds or less - test your own microwave. My setting is 800..
Open frequently to release steam and to dry glass plate with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
I used 3 layers + a final one to seal the rim edges.
Do not not not put anything made of metal in the microwave.
Not even metal leaf.
And please don't leave unattended.
I loved the bowl so much just as it was that I didn't decorate it (and I forgot that I said I would) so I promise that I will very soon and upload another video.

UPDATE - Winter 2021 - It's still Lockdown and I'm making a new series of tutorials etc for my KZbin Channel.
There's a kind of Time Warp that seems to be happening during lockdown - here in the South West of England everywhere is very quiet and it's winter though quite a mild one so far. I've had lots of time to think about what I can do.
I'm going to try to share everything I've learned in my area of paper-mache plus added videos that I hope will convey some of the beauty of where I live in what is called An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - it really is. Also I love beach-combing and collecting natural objects and have always liked to experiment with jewellery that I make from them.
My intention is not to show you how to make very quick vessels and pieces of jewellery but to show how to create things of beauty, originality and quality that will become heirlooms for you to pass on.
Inspiration is everywhere but sometimes we may need a few sign posts to find it so I'll bring those along too.

It's still Lockdown and I'm making a new series of tutorials etc for my KZbin Channel. Also I'm working behind the scenes - learning how to create 'How To Tutorials' for my new Patreon platform and will be putting excerpts from them here on KZbin too. There's a kind of Time Warp that seems to be happening during lockdown - here in the South West of England everywhere is very quiet and it's winter though quite a mild one so far. I've had lots of time to think about what I can do. I've lost a great deal of my income along with millions of others and so I'm putting my energy into vastly improving my Teaching Platform here and on Patreon. My intention is to have only one tier and keep it at £5 per month. For that I'm going to try to share everything I've learned in my area of papier-mache plus added videos that I hope will convey some of the beauty of where I live in what is called An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - it really is. Also I love beach-combing and collecting natural objects have always liked to experiment with jewellery that I make from them. My intention is not to make very quick vessels and pieces of jewellery but to create things of beauty, originality and quality that will become heirlooms to pass on. Inspiration is everywhere but sometimes we may need a few sign posts to find it so I'll bring those along too. I plan to have at least one Papier-Mache Vessel and one Jewellery Tutorial every month plus 'Sign Posts' and 'Out and About' videos. It will evolve as we go.

Hi, HIlary. You know what I've heard, is that you can mix a small amount of vinegar into your paper mix to prevent mold.

[@HilaryBravo]

so sorry for very late reply - answer is of course Yes.
