Question Posted By: Kristin Ann Melin Sunday, April 15 2007 16:15:47 Suggest Answer

Can Crea-stone be cast into a clay mold (inside another waterproof container) to make a relief casting the same way you can do this with plaster? Will it stick to wet earth clay? Can it be rinsed in water before it is totally cured? Can it be painted with acrylics before it is totally cured?

It sounds like super cool stuff; I'm considering using it for a long term casting/carving project with 8th graders.

thanks,
Kristin

    Kristin,

    You would need to seal the clay with a lacquer or shellac, then use a release agent
    and lastly add your creastone. Once it has set up (7 days) you could rinse with water. As far as painting you need to wait at least a week or so.
