FAQs

How much water should I use?

Use warm water. The MODROC bandage needs to be soaked for just a few seconds until fully saturated.

How long does it take for MODROC to dry?

Drying time depends on the thickness and environmental conditions. Allow several hours to dry. Thicker applications may take up to 24 hours.

Can I paint MODROC?

Yes, you can paint MODROC once it is completely dry. Acrylic paints work well.

How do I smooth the surface?

Use water to lightly smooth the surface while the MODROC is wet. This can be done with your fingers or a modeling tool.

Is MODROC reusable?

No, once the MODROC has dried, it cannot be softened and reused.

How do I dispose of MODROC?

Dispose of dry MODROC in the regular trash. Wet plaster should not be poured down the drain.

What tools do I need?

You will need water, a container to soak the bandages, scissors, and a surface to protect your working area.

Troubleshooting

MODROC isn't sticking to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and slightly roughened. Make sure the MODROC is properly soaked and applied with some overlap.

The MODROC is too hard to shape.

Soak the MODROC in warm water for a few seconds to soften it, or use a tool such as a sculpting knife.

The MODROC is not drying properly.

Ensure that the area is well-ventilated. In humid conditions, it might take longer to dry.

The finished piece has cracks.

Apply MODROC in thin layers and allow each layer to dry before adding the next one. Use water to smooth the surface when applying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Gather your materials: MODROC, warm water, a container for water, scissors, and a surface protector.
  2. Soaking: Cut the MODROC to the desired lengths. Submerge each strip in warm (not hot) water until saturated, usually for a few seconds.
  3. Application: Remove the soaked strip and gently squeeze off excess water. Apply the bandage to your project, overlapping the strips slightly to create a strong structure. Shape as needed.
  4. Drying: Allow the MODROC to dry completely. Drying time varies depending on the thickness of the layers and the environmental conditions. It is important to wait until the model is completely dry before painting or further processing.

Compatibility

MODROC is compatible with a wide range of materials and surfaces. It adheres well to most surfaces, including wood, plastic, and metal.

Care

  • Storage: Store MODROC in a dry place to prevent premature hardening.
  • Cleanup: Clean up wet plaster with water while it is still wet. Dried plaster can be difficult to remove.
