4 Pack 4'' x180'' Plaster Cloth Gauze Bandages Rolls, 500gsm Plaster Strip

This is magic. Prove me wrong.Ok but seriously this worked so well. I made a cast of my face (if you do this do like me and put a ton of vaseline on before the plaster strips. Do NOT forget the vaseline!) I have a small beard and bushy eyebrows and was still able to get a good cast as a mold for papier maché masks. It's suprisingly sturdy once dried, too! I've never worked with the stuff before but was happy to find this made it easy. Idk maybe it's always easy?Anyways it's a great price especially if you're just wanting to try out without getting too serious and spendy with it. I cut it into triangular strips to better form to the face and ir worked great! I still have quite a bit more of the roll left than I expected, too, so size was great.

I learned about these in sculpture class. I was fortunate in that I watched others use it (I was doing something else - hahaha... it was another mushroom but with plaster of paris) and learned from what they did... and didn't. I used it for mushrooms I'm currently making. I cut the plaster strips into pieces of about 2" long, and cut a few square pieces. Dipped them in water and applied them to my mushrooms. You have to pat it, don't rub or you'll smear it everywhere. Just pat it and it blends the pieces together better. You can't use too much water, but you can use too little. Get that stuff wet! Make it work! It will go where you want it to. Then, give it plenty of time to dry. You can sand any rough edges that appear. Any tiny "holes" will be filled with primer. Bigger holes, you just add another piece of the tape (wet), pat it, then let it dry.Painting plaster is a trick sometimes. Using a primer is best for detail. If you want something a little more abstract, don't use primer and just let it do it's thing. (One gal in class colored hers with the juice of different vegetables!!!) You will want some sort of final sealer. I use a spray glaze paint. Depending on the project, a light coat is enough. But sometimes you want a thing to shine so spray away!If you use these like paper mache, you'll need to protect your original mold... including balloons. I use a really thin coat of Crisco... thanks to "The Help". You can also wrap things in plastic wrap. Get creative. Find your own way to make it work. This stuff is great. If you are going to use plaster of paris, it's nice to use this first because it helps the plaster stay in place and you can use a lot less. Enjoy! I am!!!

This is my second time trying papier-mâché. This was way better than using paper with glue. You just wet it and kinda rub it together and put it where you want. I stuck it to plastic and the wire and then bolt that paper with tape on it. It is very dusty so just prepare for that.i love it. Thanks to the art teachers video. I would’ve never known about it and no, I don’t know his name but if elementary kids can use it I figured I could too.

Very easy to use i will be purchasing more

Very handy for fixing plastic(?) figures.

I love this stuff.

Me gustó mucho este material. Lo compré para utilizarlo en proyectos de manualidades y me resultó muy práctico. Es de esos productos que te permiten trabajar diferentes ideas y darle forma a tus proyectos de una manera bastante sencilla. La cantidad también me pareció conveniente y el material cumplió muy bien con el propósito para el que lo compré. Quedé satisfecha con la compra y definitivamente es algo que volvería a tener para futuros proyectos.

Worked perfectly and easy to use. My first attempt at making a mold of my face (which I then used to make a plaster cast) worked brilliantly. The inside was smooth and no sanding needed before using it to make the face cast. 👍(Please do plenty of research to learn how to do it safely before trying it.)

Relatively think strips, dissolve good when in contact with water.
