Extra Hard Stone Casting Plaster, 1kg – For Casting Hand, Foot or Paw Cast

Description

STONECAST is our brand of STONE CASTING PLASTER for projects that require extra strength

FULL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH EVERY PURCHASE.

As a rough guide, a 1kg bag of casting plaster makes around 1 pint of liquid plaster when mixed.

• • Stonecast Casting Plaster of Paris is New and fresh – just bought direct from the supplier so it will have a good shelf life if stored in a dry place and kept well sealed.
  • Plaster can be poured into alginate moulds and does not crack like clay. It dries hard. The less water you use the quicker it sets. Too little water and it sets before you can mould or pour it. Setting time varies according to temperature and amount of water but the manufacturer says it will set in approximately 10-20 minutes in the right conditions

**PLEASE NOTE – for the art of life casting (creating replica body parts), you need to create a mould first, using alginate (see those product pages for more details).  After you have made the mould, you pour the casting plaster into it, let it set, then peel away the alginate to leave your casting.  Of course, you should never try to set a body part in casting plaster as plaster creates heat when it dries out/hardens and will cause burns/scalds if you try to put a hand/foot in it.***
