I can't really remember how much I bought- I buy alot so I always have it on hand.

Apply the plaster strips to the inside of the mold and you get smooth results. I know some people apply the strips to the outside of the mold, but my students prefer the inside.

Does the plaster release easily from the mold?

After the initial mold is finished what material do you use (other than cardboard) to build details such as nose, brows, ears, etc.? Do you continue to use the plaster strips or could we use a newspaper flour/water mix or even toilet paper glue mix. The plaster strips don'e seem as pliable. I am starting these soon so please respond soon. Thank you for sharing.missarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377402674353263615noreply@blogger.com
