stuck

This was an experiment with a different type of plaster. This one dries as hard as stone. The idea behind using this was that because the plaster dried so hard, it would produce a detailed, delicate cast but it would be easy to remove the waxed fabric from the mold using a heat gun. The heat gun would soften the wax and then it would easily be able to come loose from the mold without damaging the plaster. Not the case...because of the complexity of the form and the hardness of the plaster, the cast is gripping the fabric quite tightly and the fabric is very much stuck :P

One solution may be to apply a thin coat of oil to the the waxed fabric next time.
