Precision plaster or hard plaster Alpha-grade plaster for artistic casting, offering precision and solidity. Its coarser grain and porosity make painting it easier. Suitable for all.
- Hard
- Fine
- No lumps and easy to paint
- Very high value for money
Recommended mixing ratio:
2.5 parts powder to 1 part water.
Demolding: 30 minutes
Preparation of the plaster:
Pour water into a large container. Disperse the plaster over the entire surface of the water. Let the plaster absorb the water for 1 to 2 minutes without mixing. Then mix gently and allow air bubbles to rise. Never add water after mixing. Slowly pour the plaster along the wall of the mold. For complex shapes, empty and start a second time.
Tips:
- Cold water slows the setting of the plaster, hot water or beating speeds it up.
- To speed up the drying process, place the object in a microwave oven for a few moments.
- Milk mixed with water will polish the object giving it a marbled appearance.
- Add an acrylic color to the water to color the plaster in the mass. Spreading it in the preparation will give marbled effects.
