Liqui-Stone Casting Cement 5lb

Liqui-Stone is a powder that mixes easily with water and looks the same as Plaster of Paris when mixed.  It captures an amazing amount of detail in the casting- right down to the fingerprints.  The white color makes it very easy to apply colored finishes and it has a working time of about 12-14 minutes.  It reaches its working set in about an hour and unmolding is recommended in between 1 and 3 hours.  It reaches 95% of its ultimate strength in 24 hours.  The compressive strength of 9000 psi is hard enough that it isn't easily broken, yet soft enough that it can be worked with tools even after fully set. Plaster of Paris is much softer, having a compressive strength of 800-1200 psi, and breaks very easily.  A typical single hand cast takes about 3 pounds of Liqui-Stone, a face cast between 1.5 and 2 pounds, and a partial torso casting can take up to 10 pounds.
