Topic Subject : Re: casting clay |
|
It (plaster bits) makes clay blow up because dry, hardened plaster contains
water, and when entombed in very hot clay, the water is freed from the
CaSO4 gypsum molecule and it boils, and kaboom.
Of course i cast with plaster direct from life. What part of my website did
you actually look at?
