How would you say?

Well it �s hard to explain but imagine a paste which is hard, not squeasable...so to say...
Would you call It a hard paste,a solid paste or?
Thnx |

Perhaps "concentrated paste" would work. |

I suppose it depends on what the paste is made of and what its purpose is (culinary, medicinal, DIY...?). If a paste hasn�t actually hardened or set, but isn�t exactly squeezable either, you might say that it�s �firm� or �stiff�.

If the paste has dried out and hardened so that you can no longer squeeze it out from the tube, as it is meant to be, then I would use the adjective �hardened �. But if it is supposed to be that thick then I would say thick paste, as Lynne suggested. |
