Casting With Plaster Of Paris 

John Quinn Cheers John! Plaster of Paris is fun! 👻

Dramamask Evolution just put out my first 2 absolutely perfect buddha statues thabks to your vids I’ve been watching like a right trainspotter away to do a plaque Tommorow 🙏🏻

John Quinn Rock on brother! 🗽🗽🗽

Thank you Joelle! :)

I feel your pain! :) If I'm making a 'model' with plaster of Paris in view of making a mold from that model, I will add more water for fluidity and sacrifice strength in that situation. I think smaller molds to fill with 2/1 mix is better and obviously a lot harder, the bigger the mold, more details, etc.

@@dramamask thanks! I’ll keep toggling the ratio then. There’s an extra hard plaster available. I wonder if a50/50 mix would work with thatstuff

@@TreforTreforgan I often use Crystacal R instead of Plaster of Paris for hardness, although you may experience the same problem.

@@dramamask what ratio do you mix it at?

@@TreforTreforgan I try to get to optimum mix ratio as possible, although I only plaster to make molds in view of casting, so strength isn't an important factor for when I use plaster.

I didn't use any mold release. Maybe I should, as I think it makes the molds last longer. :)

Thank you Bob! Was very happy with how the fossil turned out. :)

I guess and any excess I pour into other molds. You can measure what you need and I think you can use dry rice. You'll find some videos on RU-vid to measure accurately. :)

Plaster of Paris is quite light in weight. :)

As long as you get the water/plaster ratio correct and mix without introducing any unwanted air, you should be all good. :)

yep the correct recipe is 2 plaster to 1 water@@dramamask

Cheers! :)
