    Yes, whoever created the ratio chart, missed the decimal point - should read: PLASTER ------ > WATER 10 lbs 7 lbs 5 lbs 3.5 lbs 2.5 lbs 1.75 lbs 1.25 lbs .875 lbs

    I use a tamis to sift my plaster into the water, and then mix by hand. This gentle agitation drives out bubbles. Maybe it was in a different video, but Mr. Davis forgot to mention spraying or coating the object with a surfactant to help prevent bubbles from adhering to the surface of the object.

    the decimal point is not showing which is a Whoa - that can't be right (5lbs plaster to 35lbs water...)

    Yes I know it should be obvious from what the other measures are. It just caught my eye and amused me (at my own response).

    When wearing a dust mask, make sure you shave or else it is useless. And only wearing it for only 2 minutes is also counter productive. Dust lingers in the air for much longer.

    What is the bottle of glue for? Do you add it to the plaster?

    Inane videography. What does showing the guy's ear tell us about mixing plaster. Why did the guy write out the chart? Why didn't you just zoom in on that instead of posting something that was hilariously wrong?
