Making Plaster Castings Using ComposiMold 100% Reusable Mold Making Material
Plaster or Plaster of Paris is a great casting material because it is so inexpensive and works great with ComposiMold. Plaster is a safe, low cost medium that will reproduce fine detail. You can also use Hydrocal, Hydrostone, Ultracal, concrete, and cement. Here are some images of some of the many parts molded with plaster.
This bear was molded in both plaster and concrete.
Here is a Buddha molded with concrete. Buddha has also been cast with plaster.
Here is a frog that is now happily watching over a garden waiting for a plaster fly.
The steps involved with making a plaster casting with ComposiMold are the following:
1. Prepare your original part. Apply a mold release and place it into a container that can hold the ComposiMold.
2. Melt the ComposiMold
3. Pour the ComposiMold over your original and let it solidify
4. Separate the original from the ComposiMold mold
5. Apply a mold release to the ComposiMold mold
6. Mix your plaster
7. Pour the plaster into your ComposiMold Mold
8. Try to wait patiently as it cures.
9. Separate your cast part from the ComposiMold mold and admire your work.
Apply Mold Release to your Model
Applying a mold release (or release agent) will allow your model to be easily separated from the ComposiMold. Applying a mold release to the mold before casting will also minimizes wear and tear on the mold. This is important if you are using the mold to make many reproductions.
