Topic Subject : Re: A new topic has been added-Green Soap




I tried Murphy's oil soap once and found it hardened up the plaster quite a
bit, a result I really didn't want. I like the plaster to be more workable
until I finish the piece then I harden it up with a shellac and denatured
alcohol mix.

NEW! MoldGel SILFREE. A revolutionary formula.
Made with all food-grade ingredients. It nourishes
the earth when discarded. 3-to-1 mix ratio yields
twice the volume as those 1-to-1 brands. Delayed
shrinkage for delayed casting - so creamy smooth, too.

Green Soap:--
Does anyone know if when making a plaster mold of a plaster positive you can
use "Murphy's Oil Soap" in place of "green soap"?

I seem to remember seeing the substitution referenced on PolyTek's website
someplace.

Thanks
