REVOLUTIONARY LIGHTWEIGHT PLASTER Introducing the Woodland Scenics Lightweight Hydrocal Casting Plaster, a 1/2 gallon (2lbs) package designed for model railroading and fantasy game terrain. This innovative plaster allows you to create highly detailed castings, making it an exceptional choice for enhancing your model environments. ENHANCED CASTING CAPABILITIES With the Lightweight Hydrocal, your castings using Hirst Arts Castle Molds will be significantly lighter without sacrificing structural integrity. This lighter composition can make a considerable difference in the overall weight of larger projects. SIMPLE MIXING INSTRUCTIONS To achieve the best results, the plaster should be mixed according to the recommended ratio of 1/2 cup of water to 1 1/4 cups of Lightweight Hydrocal powder. Unlike traditional plasters, this mixture requires a different approach as it does not sink when added to water; instead, it must be thoroughly stirred in. EFFICIENT MOLD PREPARATION For optimal results, prepare your molds by dipping them in a mixture of water and jet-dry dishwasher additive to reduce surface tension. During pouring, use a handheld massager at the mold's edge to enhance flow and eliminate bubbles. EASY SETTING PROCESS As the plaster sets, there is typically minimal water release, so additional paper towels are optional for absorbing any excess moisture. Once the plaster reaches a toothpaste-like consistency, gently scrape off the excess using a clean metal-edged scraper held at a 45-degree angle for smooth, uniform results. MINIMAL EXPANSION FOR SMOOTH FINISHES Unique to the Lightweight Hydrocal is its minimal expansion during curing, resulting in fewer touch-up scrapes needed, giving your finished castings a refined appearance. Create incredible landscapes and intricate designs with the lightweight, high-performance plaster that transforms your model-making experience.
