Beautiful work. Can you post a video showing how to fix broken or chipped figural plaster wall hangings?

[@EirikArnesenArt]

Hello! Thank you 🙂 Yes I will do this at some point. It might not be exactly what you're asking, but I will make a video where I repair a plaster piece using plaster. It's coming!

[@dianebruyndoncx967]

thank you for this information this is a wonderful channel

[@EirikArnesenArt]

I'm glad you like it! Thank you so much :-)!

[@aaronlu5814]

amazing work! i think you could also try doing a press mold using plaster and clay, it will be easier though requires a kiln.

[@EirikArnesenArt]

I could try but since the silicone doesn't pull moisture out of the clay it's a bit tricky to do with this kind of mold. And I don't have access to a kiln. But it would be really cool!

Amazing

Great video, Great channel 👏

Thank you! 🙂

Amazing! very clear explanation. I was wondering how did u get to the head to stuck the both part of the mold? or theres any technique you can use when the mold doesnt allow you to get to some parts? Thank u so much

[@EirikArnesenArt]

If I remember correctly I was able to get my arm to the top of the head. Burlap soaked in plaster stretched over the seam onto both halves is going to hood the piece together. You can pour plaster into areas you can't get to or you can patch open seams from the outside.

When i use hydrocal white, i find we capture less fine detail than with duomatrix neo. Is this a sign we're using it wrong, or is it just what plaster is like?

[@EirikArnesenArt]

I haven't noticed any issues capturing details in plaster myself. Perhaps it's user error or perhaps your level of detail is greater than mine so plaster can't capture it? I don't know, plaster captures details well in my experience.

[@anthonysirico4902]

Amazing! Now do you use a specific sealer to give it that statue sheen? Thanks!

[@EirikArnesenArt]

Hello. No I didn't. But I think you can seal plaster with clear wax to give it more of a shiny surface. I've never done it before though so I'm not sure.

Thank you!

[@artarts7709]

How did you do the brush after use in plaster.?

[@EirikArnesenArt]

I clean the brush with water, when the brush becomes to stiff and old I throw it away.

[@pedrogordinho4120]

👌💯

[@EirikArnesenArt]

Thank you!

[@ikatz001]

Why not slip cast it in the same mold would save a lot of work and much less seam!

[@EirikArnesenArt]

It's a bit big and tough to manouver. I also want the added strength of burlap which I can't do if I slip cast. Plaster is pretty soft and easy to manipulate so fixing the seams is not too much work if you have a decent mold.
