1. Use an old saucepan, stainless steel or aluminium. Make a good mix of papier-mâché using thinned down fungicidal wall paper paste. Press this mixture into the saucepan, making it about 2” thick on the bottom and build up the sides. Hammer it to get a good bowl shape. Put the pan in a warm place (e.g. the boiler room) and allow to dry well and become hard. This may take one or two weeks.
