Question Posted By: Dina Hodara Bono Wednesday, March 14 2007 18:29:40 Suggest Answer

Hi. I created a plaster mold and would like to cast a piece from it. I was very happy to find sculptamold in my local art supply shop. When I read the package, it said that the product works with "sized" plaster molds. What does this mean? How can I size the mold? Also, do I need to apply anything to the mold to make the sculptamold piece pop out afterwards without harming the plaster mold?

    Dina,

    Sculptamold has plaster in the mix so you will need to seal your original with a lacquer or va
    ish. After drying you would then apply Plaster Separator by either brush, dipping or spraying. Allow to dry to a film. And lastly begin applying the Sculptamold. Once the product has started to set up (20-30 minutes) you need to release and allow it to finish drying (24-48 hours)
