Hi Josh
Wanted to try the plaster ,went to the hardware store ,4 lbs for $6.99 gosh that was high priced. Tried Wally World ,8 lbs for $5.88 now that was more like it.
Anyway was excited to get something made. Read the mixing ratio's, come up with this is simple 1 water 2 plaster. Came up with the amount I needed and started mixing up a batch.
To make a long story short ,when I came up with the pancake type thickness I was ready to pour, went to pour and it was already thickened up where it wouldn't pour so I added a little water to thin it out , and more water,and more water and still had to spoon it out into the mold , moved it around in the mold even adding more water to get it thin enough to add what I wanted into the matrix.
I made 3 different pours and my results were the same. Is their some secret on how to mix this stuff up without it going nuts on me???
I poured this Sunday afternoon and its still mushy ,looks like in a couple more days it might be ready to take out of the molds, if it hardens at all??
Need some pointers on how to mix this plaster stuff ??
For whatever its worth, I asked a very gifted person about the use of the plaster, answer was Great . The Gemstones,coils,crystals or whatever you put into the mix is what makes it work. That is why just plain wall board isn't a generator of energy by itself. And yes plaster is just selenite .

OK Gifter, what I have found with the plaster is that you must be fast, and I always add a little more water then what is called for, if the mix require one quart of water I will add one cup extra.
Mix it quickly, put it in the mold, halfway put some stones, pour the rest and add the rest of the stones. Do not wait, as soon as it is mix: pour it; I have had plenty of false start myself AS a rule it seems to harden within 10 to 20 minutes, and there is also a bit of heat generated, but not that much.
I get my plaster from one of the two Home Depot or Lows, and I am paying $27 for 25 lb, I am certain that if I go to a construction supplier I will find it in 50lb bags for not much at all.

Thanks Josh
Will be much faster than before. So 8 lbs for $5.88 is a cheap price ( 24 lbs would be $17.64)( 32 lbs be $23.52).
So will what I made already,will it harden or is it all hopeless??
Thanks Again
Gifter

No not hopeless, if you have put your stones in it, you can take your failed plaster and put it in a bucket of water, it will dissolve and you can salvage your stones, Yes you found a good price, I will look around for larger quantities, and see, but so fare you did good at wally mart
