I'm wondering if there is a formula for mixing plaster and water to make it liquid enough to use as slip cast. My idea is to use the plaster instead of clay and make hollowed figurines.
Hi! I am using Hydrostone to make trinket trays. I would like to make the tray waterproof by finishing it with a matte finish sealer. I am not able to find anything in the market. Based on your knowledge on Hydrostone, could you please advise what can I use? Thank you!
I don't know something that could make it waterproof easily especially for reproduction. I recommend resin. I believe smooth on makes a two-part called Smooth Cast 320. That would be excellent and it's paintable.
Hey man! I’m looking to make a 20x20x40 inch block of hydrostone to care up a bit. I was wondering, would something of that size hold its structural integrity? Would it be ridiculously heavy or manageable?
It's a soft carving stone. Like any carving statue there are ways to get chunks to break away without destroying your image. It doesn't carve like plaster but once you get through the surface it's much more manageable. Give it a go and see what happens I've never tried it. Not to that extent anywhere
As ever-You can go slow the first time or go slow the second time. Good tips. Thanks.
If you have a palm sander you can place it against the mold and the vibration will jiggle loose a lot if not most of the air bubbles.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing 😊

the reason it works so well is that it is breaking the hydrogen bonds that create the surface tension in water. . rubbing alcohol works too.
Wgere did you get the baby mold?
