Softening a new painted drop

Im working/designing a show, doing a scene where a dropped is set low and puddled. Explained tons of times, to size light to keep soft. Think the growing tree from Nutcracker, starts in a puddle grows on lift/fly cue.

Of course the scenic painter, starched heavy/glued, not sure of his mix but is coming out stiff. Is" the guy" that I had to use for this. Great artist, but doesn't listen. What can be done to soften....fold and unfold tons of time...beat it with a baseball bat? Roll and squish......using acrylics for paint.

Any advise would be appreciated!
