What no lumps?[:P] Actually I work in a carpeted layout room, and pour plaster. I use lots of newspaper on the floor at "plaster time", and generally mix in the bathroom across the passage. That's where the water is after all.[:D]

No clean up Hydrocal & Plaster
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, August 21, 2004 8:48 AM
I posted this in another thread but seeing I have never heard this mentioned in the forums I watch I am posting it here also.
I see many people complain about clean up and what a messy hobby this is.
My layout is right where I get to enjoy it the most. Right in the living room with wall to wall carpet.
I now mix my hydrocal in a plastic zipper bag, the freezer type not the thin ones.
Pour in the water, add the hydrocal, zip it up fold over the top for safe measure, hold on and shake it up.
From there you can just pour into molds.
I also have poured into styro cups and then brushed it onto my layout as needed.
No fuss, no clean up.
