INSTALLATION:

Surface Preparation:
Cast or mold must be thoroughly clean and dry. Surface need not be coated, PLASTER OF PARIS unmolds very easily. Mold should be ready to fill, as PLASTER OF PARIS sets very quickly. When used to fill a small crack in plaster surfaces, make certain all surfaces are clean and free from dirt, grease and loose particles of paint and plaster. Dig out some of the old plaster around the crack to allow the PLASTER OF PARIS a chance to bond. Wet the old plaster thoroughly before filling the crack.

Mixing:
Add PLASTER OF PARIS slowly to clean water and mix to a pourable batter like consistency. Do not mix more material than can be used in 10 minutes. If the mix begins to harden before it has been used, discard it and mix a new batch. Never try to moisten material that has begun to set. PLASTER OF PARIS can be tinted with RAINBOW CEMENT COLOR to produce casts of any color. Always dry mix PLASTER OF PARIS and RAINBOW CEMENT COLOR before adding to water.

Placement:
Pour PLASTER OF PARIS into the mold while tapping the mold slightly so that no voids are formed. Overfill mold slightly and level off with a smooth straight edged tool such as a trowel or putty knife. When used to patch small cracks in plaster surfaces, use a putty knife or broad scraping knife to apply the PLASTER OF PARIS. Spread the material evenly and keep free from runs, sags and other blemishes. Fill all voids and imperfections and match existing surfaces in texture and finish. Final trowel after surface has become firm, holding trowel flat and using water sparingly. Do not overtrowel.

Curing:
PLASTER OF PARIS is self-curing. Allow cast to dry for 1 hour before removing mold.
