It maintains its viscosity for long period, even if it is in open air and when protected from dust.
It is soft and gentle on fingers/hands enabling mridangam players to play comfortabily. The special paste can be removed and reapplied. You can Buy Mridangam Special Paste at our Website: www.mridangams.com

Merits of Special Paste

Carrying water along for playing mridangam is a trouble, because for mixing Rava/Wheat flour water is needed. More over while playing, one has to wet the left head frequently. Frequently wetting the "thoppi/left head decreases the life span of the Skin tone and the mould. Imperfect wetting leads to decreased bass effects and professional sound. Special paste removes all these drawbacks and is a great enhancement product for mridangam players across the world.
