Instant Plaster, Without the Plaster!!!!!!

Postby Heart of Sword » Mon Aug 29, 2005 4:43 am

Hiya! I invented something!

There was this animal track I found that I wanted to fill in with plaster so I could "have a copy" but I didn't have any. Then I thought about wet paper and how it dries after a while, so on a whim I shredded toilet paper and squished it into the track. In about an hour (maybe less), I pulled the paper out and it had made a perfect "cast" (or mold) of the track!!!! That was two years ago, and guess what...it's STILL intact!!!! Try it sometime!

Tip: The more shredded and soaked the toilet paper is, the better. I haven't tried any other paper, but I know the toilet kind works. :grin:

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

Isn't that also known as "paper mache'"?

paper mache is done with starch and newspaper which is a bit less shredded than the case here. It seems that the idea in mind is to use paper pulp to construct a totally nasty but very effective plaster...
