Rock Faces (LK951)

In this kit is enough Lightweight Hydrocal* to make four to five rocks. Do not mix contents all at once. If desired, mix a

smaller amount of Lightweight Hydrocal and fill only a few selected cavities to make a larger number of smaller rocks.

Instructions

1. Spray or brush inside of mold with “wet water” (one or two drops of liquid soap in 6 oz. of water). This will help

disperse air bubbles.

2. Shake bag of Hydrocal to mix contents.

3. For each rock, slowly mix 1 cup Hydrocal with 1/3 cup water.

4. Immediately pour mixture into Rock Mold (Fig.1).

Wait 30-40 minutes and remove. Rock should sit overnight before coloring.

6. To apply rock to layout, determine placement and cut Plaster Cloth into 1x4-inch strips. Hold bumpy side up and

dip each strip into a pan of water. Place strips, one at a time, around the edge of the rock to fill in the gaps. Rub with

fingertips to smooth Plaster Cloth and blend rock onto layout.

7. In separate containers mix supplied pigments
