How do I know which plaster is right for my project?
Choosing the right plaster depends on the type and scale of your project. For intricate, detailed work, we recommend using fine casting plasters. For larger or structural projects, opt for a heavy-duty plaster. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to guide you in selecting the best product.
What are timber laths used for in molding projects?
Timber laths are used to reinforce large-scale molds by providing structural support. They are especially useful for framing and stabilizing the mold, ensuring it maintains its shape during the casting process. Our timber laths are eco-friendly and durable, making them ideal for various applications.
What are jute scrims, and how do they reinforce molds?
Jute scrims are woven fabrics made from natural fibers that are used to reinforce molds during the casting process. When placed between layers of plaster or other materials, jute scrims add strength and durability, preventing cracks and ensuring your mold holds up under pressure.
