Illimitux Doesn't Play

decorative plaster

I am very fond of this plate from the door or wall. I prepared for my family.
To create it I used a mold made of pvc and I did a quick-setting plaster cast (the cast must be paid within minutes of mixing the plaster with water otherwise it dries).
After a couple of days to dry, the plate was removed from the mold and smooth (especially on the back) with very fine sandpaper to remove casting imperfections.
Once dry, I switched to color with watercolors (very common ones that use children in elementary school and are available at any stationery or supermarket) that allow you to do a thousand shades of good and correct. Dry
colors (always better to wait a day for them to penetrate well inside), you can start to pass the flatting, where the plate must be outside you need to buy a flatting that will withstand the weather. One hand is not enough, it takes at least two, and between one hand and another must pass at least one day. Give
flattting is a little annoying, one must be careful not to put too much not to create bubbles and lumps, it takes a little patience (do not go to draw the attention where there is dust or flatting pelucchietti tissue because it attracts a everything and you will probably find glued to the subject).
To hang the hooks can be used for the squares in the frame.
