I took my bag of hand dandy wood pulp insultation, and using no water, made a 3:1 mix of elmer's glue and joint compound for paste.  As I added the insulation, it became a sticky mess, which I could not see sculpting.  I added a bit more, and it transformed into an chunk of stuff that was not sticky, not really moldable, and did not work at all.

 

Thinking I had added too much pulp, I added a little more glue and joint compound.  No good.  I added some water, already expecting that to go nowhere.  That's just what it did, too.

 

Well, back to the drawing board / internet searches!

 

At least Jimmy's Phantom mask worked out for him.
