Topic Subject : Re: RE: Re: Cotton Batton

Thanks for bring that up I have actually been have a little bit of an issue with the cheese cloth. I bit of an imprint of it came out on my last torso casting a couple of weeks ago. I will certainly try the 2 layers like you descibed Bill. I also use the algislo, it does work great.
Has anyone used both? Cheese cloth vs cotton or mandella wool? Since I do these castings by myself I am wondering if using the cotton/wool would be faster for me to apply?
I also have a seperate question.
Does everyone use plaster bandages? The first one I did, I put the cheese cloth on and then put a few layers of fast setting extra hard gypsum. 10 min set up. I think it worked great, it also may have been beginners luck. The castings after that I have put both bandage and then gypsom, it might be overkill. ?? I just figure the extra cement on top would stop it from loosing it's true form.

I have another one in a couple of weeks and would really like to make it go a little smoother and have better results

Thanks

Diane
