FAQs
Is the plaster safe for children?
Yes, it is designed for children's craft use, but adult supervision is recommended during the mixing and pouring phases.
Can I use my own paints?
Yes, while the kit comes with paints, you can use standard acrylic or poster paints once the plaster is fully cured.
How long does it take for the figures to dry?
It is recommended to leave them for several hours, preferably overnight, to ensure they are completely hardened before painting.
Are the moulds reusable?
Yes, the plastic mould tray is durable and can be cleaned and reused for future plaster projects.
What should I do if I run out of plaster?
The kit is intended to be used with the included materials; you can purchase standard hobby plaster from craft stores if you wish to make more.
Troubleshooting
Plaster is cracking while drying.
Ensure the water-to-powder ratio follows the instructions precisely and allow the figures to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
Air bubbles appear on the finished figure.
Tap the mould tray firmly on the table after pouring the plaster to force air bubbles to the surface.
Paint is flaking or not sticking.
The plaster may still be damp. Wait until the figure is completely white and room temperature before applying paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the project is straightforward: ensure you have a flat, level surface for the moulds to sit on while drying. To maintain the kit, clean the reusable mould tray with warm water and soap immediately after use to ensure no plaster residue hardens in the grooves. Store the remaining plaster powder in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture clumping. When painting, ensure the figures are completely dry to the touch; if the plaster feels cool or damp, it is still holding moisture and the paint may not adhere properly.
