Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Jesmonite and plaster?
Jesmonite is a water-based composite material consisting of a combination of plaster, cement, and resin. It is lighter and easier to work with than traditional plaster but offers similar durability and aesthetic possibilities. Plaster, on the other hand, is a powdery material that is mixed with water and then hardens, often used for making molds and castings.
How do you make your own molds with alginate powder?
Alginate powder is a flexible material used for making molds of three-dimensional objects. Mix the powder with water according to the instructions on the package and pour the mixture over the object you want to replicate. Wait for the alginate to cure and then remove the object to obtain an accurate mold that you can use for casting materials such as plaster, concrete, or Jesmonite.
