So me and ds are going through a truly awful time, and to cheer us up I made a massive effort to do some arty things together.
Except this one is failing and I need to repair it before DS realises and dissolves.
I used this Mr Maker kit, which has plaster of Paris and plastic molds. The plaster as it dries is cracking across the shapes and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
The molds themselves are pants. Just ordinary plastic packaging as in the rather stiff and brittle stuff used as packaging & normally thrown away. Not flexible in any way. I assumed they'd be one use only or the plaster would need to dry completely before attempting to get it out.
Sooo, can't do much about that. But any tips welcomed.
But is there something I'm doing wrong in mixing the water & plaster together? Is it too thick/ too thin? Can plaster to out of date? What can do I do to stop the crazy paving cracking that is happening?
I'm going to have to try again and only have enough for one more go...
