I use sculptamold a lot, and I really like it. It has a comfortably long working time and it's not as messy as plaster.


I've only played around with the sculpt-a-mold, but haven't done anything substantial. Do you use it for mountains, roads or what? I don't like mold-a-scene, but have used powered hydrocal over plastercloth.

I would agree with Glen, chunk it in the trash and then rinse out what's left.

Let me know how the sculpt-a-mold works for you.

Trash it, then rinse. Why take a chance on something clogging the drain? A small amount from a scraped then rinsed bowl is not much danger, but a large quantity of adhesive sunstances should never be put in the drain.

I plan to model a river using these two materials. If I have any left over, can I just pour it down the drain, or should I throw it in the trash, and rinse the bowl out?[?][?]
