It takes 24 hours for the dental stone to fully cure (the lighter shaded ones are fully cured).
The casts have been remarkable good with the exception of a few pieces from last night that have some air bubbles. It's all due to user error as I was rushed.
Casting is very simple but best done in an assembly line frame of mind - its a lot easier to do a lot of these over a long sessions than one or two a night.
I do wish the molds were a little bigger as I've got to cast the pyramid one a total of 14 times (6 down, 8 to go!)
Cool!
ReplyDeleteThese do look good - I salute your diligence in keeping going!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work.
ReplyDeleteYour labours will be well rewarded when the assembly falls into place. I dip my castings for quick results however I like to use Plaster of Paris on larger moulds.They can be removed from the moulds within half an hour and placed aside to fully cure and dry out to a perfect white.Then dipped all at once on the same day they dry instantly. Have Fun BB
