Works the same as plaster but is white

I was expecting it to be a bit harder than plaster because it's advertised but it's no stronger than P by P.

Pros
  • Great range
Cons
  • Some small tweaks

Easy to use for crafting

I used this to base the wire sculptures I made. Actually mixed with a small amount of gravel and sawdust. Easy to use. Set up quickly. I have a few more ideas to try and add later.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Something different

The patch was very easy to use

The patch was very easy to use. We just had to add water. One pack was enough to make 14 handmade ornaments that my students gave to their parents. I would buy it again!

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Not for all pottery and shapes!

I bought this to make a slide mold. Attention: NOT FOR CLOSED FORMS is written on the back of the packaging. I made a solid mold and it didn't work for slip casting. The clay never dried up. Before using it, I left the mold for 3 days so that it had to dry. Maybe I did something wrong or I had a bad batch. This will probably work well for a clay shape. I just wouldn't recommend it for slip casting.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Amazing price

Easy to use but the warning label says non-toxic

This product is very easy to use and is ideal for making jewelery from plaster of paris. We love to draw ornaments every year and plaster crafts seems to be a thing of the past as you won't find more choices in any craft store these days. After drying, I drill holes so they can be hung on the Christmas tree. The only problem/dislike I have is the warning/warning label. The description says it's non-toxic, but the packaging says otherwise. See image. This product solidifies through a chemical…

Pros
  • Many may
Cons
  • be too blunt

Perfect Plaster really lived up to its name.

I wanted my grandson to discover dinosaurs in his own garden. It was instant. I lightly greased and filled the molds and in no time I had bones! I stirred up some more plaster and placed the bones in the wet plaster base. Imagine his surprise in the sandpit on his covered porch when I handed him a shovel and broom and asked him to dig. It's worth it. Three dinosaurs live there now!

Pros
  • Pottery and pottery tools
Cons
  • Can't remember

This is no ordinary patch!

This is NOT a joke! It's not your usual patch just to notify people. You can't use it for bodycasting or anything like that. I knew this when I bought it just thought I would repeat it. I tried filling the statue, which she did, but she also ate some of the plastic (this product gets very hot after mixing). I made it I think for other purposes it would be better! It also cures in 24 hours.

Pros
  • Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

I used a perfect mold and never had a problem demoulding. I have never cast a mold with this product without breaking it. It's hard to recommend a useless product. I would spend the extra money and buy the perfect cast before using this product. In fact, I just ordered a more perfect mix and will try to mix this useless product with a perfect mix.

Pros
  • power
Cons
  • weak
