Mont Marte Plaster Cloth Wrap, 10cm x 4.5m, Quick Setting

It's a plaster cloth wrap designed for sculpture, mold-making, and craft projects. When wet, it softens for shaping and, as it dries, it forms a durable, solid surface with fine detail.

Key features include quick setting when wet, a fine weave that captures details, flexibility while wet for easy molding, a strong finish when dry, and a non-toxic composition that’s safe for all ages.

Size: 10 cm wide by 4.5 m long. It dries to a durable surface, has a fine weave texture for detail, remains flexible when wet, and is non-toxic and safe for classroom or home use.

The wrap hardens quickly when wet. Drying time depends on the thickness of the layer and ambient conditions (humidity, temperature). In typical scenarios, you can expect the piece to dry within several hours to a day.

Store the roll in a cool, dry place away from excess moisture. Keep the packaging closed to prevent the cloth from absorbing humidity.

A 4.5 m roll can be used for multiple projects, depending on size and the number of coats you apply. For smaller sculptures or models, you may complete several pieces; for larger forms, you might use additional layers or rolls. Plan based on the intended surface area and desired thickness.

Finish by letting the plaster fully dry, then lightly sand any uneven spots. Prime with a suitable gesso or primer if you plan to paint, then apply acrylic paints. Seal with an acrylic varnish if you want added durability, especially for pieces handling wear or outdoor use.
