Question Posted By: Kristin Ann Melin Friday, April 20 2007 08:59:26 Suggest Answer

Hi Lori,

Thanks for answering my question. Regarding the clay mold, I actually wanted to know if the Crea-stone can be cast into earth clay that is still wet - so I guess my question is will it react to water in the mold. I've cast plaster and concrete successfully like this, and as far as I can tell, the crea-stone behaves somewhat similarly?

Maybe I need to do some experimenting ...

Thanks,
Kristin

    Good mo
    ing. I don't really think that it would work for you because the clay would be absorbing the moisture and therefore become soft and distort your casting. A bisque fired piece would be preferable with a release agent such as Murphy's Oil Soap or Plaster Separator.
