Stone Casting Plaster Extra Hard Powder 1kg

Stone Casting Plaster Extra Hard Powder 1kg Description

STONE CASTING PLASTER 1kg for projects that require extra strength like lifecasting (hand and foot casting) or professional sculpting.

As a rough guide, a 1kg bag of casting plaster makes around 1 pint of liquid plaster when mixed.

• This material is ideal for making small to large models either in batches or as one off fine art sculptures which can be finely carved when dry.
• Stone casting plaster will produce more robust models and is ideal for using in an alginate mould as its much stronger/less brittle than standard plaster
• Plaster can be poured into moulds and does not crack like clay. It dries hard. The less water you use the quicker it sets. Too little water and it sets before you can mould or pour it. Setting time varies according to temperature and amount of water but it should set in approximately 10-20 minutes in the right conditions

**PLEASE NOTE - for the art of life casting (creating replica body parts), you need to create a mould first, using either alginate or modroc . You should never try to set a body part in casting plaster as plaster creates heat when it dries out/hardens and will cause burns/scalds if you try to set a hand/foot in it.***
