Product description
Make sculptures, impressions and more with Cadence Plaster of Paris Powder. To make plaster of paris, you will need: the plaster of paris powder, clean water, a mixing cup or container and mixing tools.
The mixing ratio for making the plaster of paris is 2 parts powder to 1 part water. Place the powder in a clean container or bowl and make a well into which you slowly pour the water. Stir gently until smooth, do not beat the mixture as this can cause air bubbles to form. Tap the side of the container to bring any air bubbles to the surface.
Make sure the mold you are using is clean and wipe the inside with a damp cloth before applying the plaster. This will ensure that the hardened plaster can be easily removed once it is dry. Fill the mold in small sections and tap the sides to release any air bubbles. Average drying time is 1 hour. The average curing time (time after which the plaster can be removed from the mold) is around 8 to 10 hours depending on the size of the mold and the temperature of the room you are in; larger projects will take longer.
If you are going to paint the object, make sure it is completely dry first.
Clean any tools with water immediately after use and wash your hands to remove any residue.
Caution! The plaster generates heat as it cures. Do not immerse any part of your body in the mixture to make a mold, as this can burn you and cause permanent injury. Use alginate powder to make a mold.
