Mercury Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 I was working with strong cast, a product that would be better than plaster for molds. ( I thought) A 2 lb container was about 5.00. i was able to get 1 mold of 3 6" swim baits. even have about 1/4 of the container left. Mixed at a 2-1 ratio with water It is a heavier medium when set up. At first I thought somthing was wrong with it. Verry runny when mixed. But then it starts to set up and will do so after sitting for about a half hour. Over night it not only turns into a very heavy and solid mold, It is at least 3 times heavier than plaster. It feels very solid but still is porus. But not as bad as actual plaster. After I make a pour in it I will post a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_N_Fool Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hey Merc, where did ya get the stuff? How good of detail did it pick up? any bubbles in the casting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 THe detail is just as good as teh master. But it still has to have a sealer on it. I didnt like the plaster molds much since they are very brittle and easialy broken ahd I have a gorilla fist it seems when handeling the plaster molds. Strong cast that I picked up was in Michales crafts store. Same area as the plaster o paris stuff. 2 lb was 4.49. Personaly I think I like the watter putty better. It is easy to work with and more cost affective. 4.79 @ 4 lbs. Detail is great on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
