Dala Plaster Craft Bandage is coated with quality gypsum and requires the addition of water. They are thick and creamy, fast setting and strong.  Use it to cast mother moulds / negatives.

Ideal for mask making, moulding and casting
Plaster of Paris Craft Bandage is useful in making "shell", "mother moulds" or "negatives". It can be used to make castings of faces, body moulds, and busts, and can also be used in terrain modelling and more. 

A popular method for casting with plaster bangdage is to unroll about 60cm of the plaster bandage and then fold it in on itself once, and then fold it in on itself again for the second time, creating a zig zag of 3 layers of bandage on top of each other and cut. Keep doing this until the roll is finished and lay them down in an 'X shape' so that they are easy to pick up while working. Have a bowl of water nearby. Prepare your positive by coating it in a release agent such as vaseline or a layer of cling film for when the plaster has dried and you need to remove it. When the positive that you are going to cast from has been prepared, dunk the plaster strips into the water until saturated. Gently pull the bandage to squeeze some of the excess water out and apply it to your intended surface. Residual plaster will come off into the water, during the wetting process making it milky. It is advised that you change the water when this mixture becomes very milky. 

How much plaster bandage you need will be determined by your intended casting. A face cast can use up 1 whole roll and a bust cast can use up to 9 rolls.  Depending on what your project is, the plaster can take up to .... to dry completely. When dried, remove the negative cast carefully. You can now either cast positives from the shell you've created, or decorate the shell using paints and other craft items of your choice. Please note:  1) This plaster bandage is not for medical use. 2) Hardened Plaster will not come off of or out of bowls and buckets easily. Dispose of remnants as soon as possible to avoid the Plaster hardening onto tools and items used when moulding. *Clean up using warm soapy water.

Fine plaster can be perfect for casting, moulding and sculpting to create delicate and unusual effects. It is light in weight and can be carved into once dry as well as accurately picking up textures and detail.

It is fine and soft so that it can pick up fine details when making a plaster mould of something, as differentiated from casts and sculpting where the final object is the plaster so it would need to be stronger.

How to use:
Quick instructions: Mix powder into water at a ratio of 100:70, Plaster to Water . Dries to a soft, fragile finish after 20-25 minutes. Do not touch while setting.
Weigh out your plaster powder into a vessel, break up any lumps so it’s a consistent powder. Measure out the correct ratio of water. Use a container that will hold three times the volume of the loose plaster.
Gently sprinkle the plaster into the water allowing it to sink and letting it soak for a few minutes. Slowly mix the two together using strokes that don’t create air bubbles (do not beat).
The mix should have an even consistency with no bubbles or swelling and no free water. Use light tapping to get any air bubbles to rise to the surface.
Let the mixture stand for a minute and gently pour it if making a solid piece.
The plaster can become quite warm during the setting period. It is safe to remove the cast after 2x the setting time so around 40 minutes later for this plaster.
Please note: do not dispose of Plaster of Paris or clean tools you’ve used with it using a sink or drain.
Additionally, never pour liquid or molten material into setting plaster until it’s completely dry as otherwise it could explode.

Can be used to cover all types of objects, produce masks by applying directly to the skin, make supporting shells for the siligum, alginate or latex moulds.
