Fossil Plaster Casting

One extra thing to remember is never pour your leftover plaster down the sink. It can create a terrible clog. Wipe everything down with the paper towel and throw the paper towel away before washing off any supplies. Try to use a cup that you've already used to reduce waste . For example leftover cups from getting fast food.

One additional fun note is that when Michelangelo painted the Sistine chapel, he painted on plaster... it's called a fresco. So that's the type of painting you're doing if you choose to paint your plaster casting.
