Papier mache recipe?

Does anyone have a good papier mache recipe? I want to avoid mold. I’ve seen advice to add essential oils, add linseed oil, add salt, I wanted to find out what people here think

I have never had mould. It just needs to dry out thoroughly between layers and be kept somewhere dry once it is finished. I use watered down PVA glue for mine.

Thanks - this is working well (except for the dog trying to play with it 😂)

Sounds messy

I use wood glue, water, flour, a it of salt and a bit of tea tree oil. It dries rock hard after one layer too (I used parcel paper).
