SpoonMinnow Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I've found a super fine plaster, but the gloss coat I used to use is no longer available? Any suggestions. Behr's makes a masonry, stucco/ brick Paint but a gallon is too much and would go to waste. Did a search and someone mentioned Elmer's Glue All. Anyone tried it?

mark poulson Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I always add some yellow carpenters glue to my POP, to make it stronger so it holds details better. The more you add, up to a 50/50 mix with the water you add, the more gloss your mold will have, but you still have to seal the cavities before you pour.

Travis Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I have always sealed with thinned devcon. No issues and no loss of detail if done properly. Tried various other methods... well still use the devcon method. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Man Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I use Bondo fiberglass resin. Mix it up/brush it on/let it dry/done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdhammah Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I use 5 min epoxy, thinned with acetone. apply coats and allow to dry in between coats til glossy. don't lose any detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Linnell Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I used to use epoxy, 50/50 Elmers and water is just easier to deal with in my opinion, high temp engine paint works too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
