The plaster of paris received was in a plastic bucket instead of the cardboard container as shown. A mold chamber was first constructed that coarsely outlined the desired mold and the inside of the mold chamber was coated with a thin layer of petroleum jelly. Once the proper plaster of paris/water ratio was obtained, the mold was cast, allowed 24-hrs to dry, and was extracted from the mold chamber with ease. A closer resemblance to the desired mold was then performed using ordinary sandpaper.

I used this to cast my Olympic medals. Very useful and helpful!

Excellent

I am new to using plaster of Paris, but I used this to make homemade chalk paint with Behr interior latex paint made up in a Benjamin Moore color and it turned out perfect! Definitely cheaper and nice to be able to choose any color I wanted. I don’t use chalk paint all that often, but I would definitely opt to do this again. I was chalk painting old RV furniture rather than re-covering it and it turned out so good! The key was to water the chalk paint recipe down, spray the furniture with water and use a sanding block to work it in the fabric and then after it dried in between coats. It took three coats and then a seal with a carnauba wax since it is used in an RV and will experience temp fluctuations. It feels leathery when done. There are so many recipes for chalk paint out there and this was a cost effective way to update the ‘90s floral couches.

Nice
