Many different casting plasters work well. I like using Ultracal 30. Unfortunately, in some places it can be hard to get or expensive. Please note there is a downloadable data sheet on my website with the mixing quantities for Ultracal 30 for each mold and stone dimensions (the same ratios work for Perfect Cast). www.happydottingcompany.com Some alternative casting plasters include - USA/Canada - Perfect Cast, Rapid set Mortar mix from Home depot, Quikrete, Mapei, Dental Stone powder, Hydrocal powders, In the UK - Crystacast or Herculite Stone, In Aust and NZ. I buy my Ultracal 30 from Barnes (a shop in Woolloongabba, Brisbane) – I believe they have other outlets. Another good option is Casting Plaster by Gyprock from Bunnings (see free mix sheet for this on our website) or Dental plaster by Gyprock (by special order from Bunnings). Sometimes these products only come in big bags but then it’s very economical. 🔔 Don't Forget to Subscribe!
