   Molds

As I oops, I pass it on, hopefully with my solutions.

Having a bunch of mother molds can make it

difficult to find just one. Or to know just what

these blobs will make, so I write a brief

description on the side of the mold with colored pencil.  Felt pins just get dried up and clogged

with plaster dust. One label reads Crates/Barrel

Only pour a small amount of glycerine into

the bottle for easier control of drops.

Ditto with water.

If you use a yogurt container (well-

cleaned) to mix your plaster, you can

easily flex the plastic to get the old,

dried plaster out.

Keep your plaster covered and away from

your water source! Unless you want to

make the container one huge mold. Or

just like having hard lumps in your mother molds.

If you cover the wood dams all the way around

with masking tape, you can put the hot glue

right on the tape. Then you just peel off the

tape instead of having to peel the glue

off the wood.
