Large Sugar Skull Garden Concrete or Plaster Casting Plaque Mould Nr1

• Make your own concrete garden stones or plaster plaques with this REUSABLE mould. Your finished skulls will measure appox. 22cm x 17cm x 3cm.
• The mould is made from thick semi-rigid ABS plastic which can be used over and over again for either concrete or plaster casting. Simply wash in warm soapy water (NOT dishwasher proof!) after each use and it will last for years.
• Your concrete casts will pop out of the mould easily, but if you like you could rub a TINY amount of normal kitchen vegetable oil on the inside of the mould before pouring in your concrete mix to facilitate demoulding.
• If you're new to concrete casting, some common mixes you could try are: 4 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement, OR 2 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement, OR 3 parts mixed gravel and sand to 1 part cement.
• If you'll be painting up your plaster casts, try using acrylic pain pens. It makes painting your finished casts so much easier! You could make blank casts for other people to paint up! Make garden stones or plaques either for yourself or to sell on at garden centres, markets or car boots.

I've added extra pictures of some finished casts to give you an idea of how you might like to paint your casts. For the plaster versions I generally seal them with PVA. This gives them a lovely satin finish. Then I paint them up using acrylic paint pens. It makes adding all the smaller details so much easier! Your casts will pop out of the mould easily, but if you'll be casting in concrete, you could rub a TINY amount of normal kitchen vegetable oil on the inside of the mould before pouring in your concrete mix to facilitate demoulding.

For plaster casting I'd recommend using either HERCULITE Nr 2 or HERCULITE STONEPLASTER. Both of these are MUCH stronger than plaster of paris. Each of the skulls you cast from this mould will measure appox. 22cm x 17cm and they will be approx. 3cm deep.
