Topic Subject : Re: Re: Mixing Gypsum

Thanks for pointing that out. I can only use it on my solid casts then.(hands/feet)
I will try hydrocal wh for for my other casts.
But if you go on usg's website gypsumsolutions.com that is where I got that info. The gypsums that I looked at all have silica in it. Look at their safety data sheets you can find out what is in all of their gypums. so using a resporator/dust mask if sanding or tooling is probably a good idea.

It also says that their gypsums should be put into some sort of drying chamber or room "to get the maximum physycal properties to develope" with heat and ventalation. I really am hoping that it can dry on its own over a period of time.

Diane
