FAQs
Does this kit include the plaster?
No, this kit includes the mould and instructions, but casting plaster must be purchased separately.
Can I use this mould more than once?
Yes, the heavy-duty rubber construction allows the mould to be reused for many casting sessions.
What kind of paint should I use on the rocks?
Water-based acrylic paints or specialized landscape staining products are recommended for the best results.
Is this kit suitable for young children?
It is recommended for ages 14 and up due to the precision required in model making and potential mess with plaster.
What scale is this mould designed for?
The textures are designed to be versatile and fit well within most common modeling scales, including HO, N, and O.
Troubleshooting
Plaster is sticking to the mould
Ensure you are using a light coating of a suitable mould release agent or a very thin mix of dish soap and water before pouring.
Air bubbles in the cast
Tap the sides of the mould gently after pouring the plaster to help trapped air bubbles rise to the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clean workspace and the necessary casting plaster (sold separately). When using the mould, lightly coat the interior with a release agent if recommended to ensure clean removal. After each use, wash the mould with warm, soapy water and a soft brush to remove residual plaster, then allow it to air dry completely before storage. Store the mould flat in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or degradation of the rubber material. This kit is compatible with standard scenic modeling plasters and water-based acrylic paints typically used in the Woodland Scenics system.
