Over the years, I've tried just about everything except wall paper paste, Joe. Zip texturing, patching plaster, Hydrocal, you name it... <br /> <br />But if you're looking for something that's "less messy," try plaster gauze. It's all I use now. In fact, I have the better part of a 100-lb. bag of Hydrocal in the basement that I'll probably never use up because I like the plaster gauze so much better. There's virtually no clean up with it and it dries just as hard as "hardshell." After I've applied a surface coat of my Sculptamold/paint mix and rock castings, I can't see the gauze texture underneath. <br /> <br />I guess the downside to using it, though, is the expense. It does cost more than a bag of plaster and a roll of paper towels. But then I think of the plaster drips and the cleanup and ... well, you get the point.
