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

@@colindavis2113 so glad you posted this I was like wtf trying to figure that chart out
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.

this was really helpful, thank you
Would you please let me know what is the function of those forceps on the tables? I am new to this. Best regards.
How do you clean the plaster mixing bucket and mixing tools?
Good job sir! Do you have any tip on where to buy KT 1-4 Kentucky Ball Clay?
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?

Can you use Hydrocal? Thank you
If I mixed that much air into my plaster, I would have problems.
Take weight pounds x .70 get weight of water needed
What is a 6 by 6 cube? last time I checked that would give area not volume.

He misspoke. Simply saying a 6” cube would be sufficient.
6x6 what? inches? meters?

they use odd measurement systems. could be deer
Isn’t the purpose to NOT add any more air than you need to?!
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?
