hi everyone

i wasnt sure where to post this, so i thought this might be the best place. my question is this : does anybody have any tips for making moulds for scenery cast from plaster? im currently refining my casting techniques and the things id like to mould & cast, and i know theres a huge variety of ways to make moulds, i just wondered if anybody had any insider info? tips? etc

here are a couple of ideas that may spark something that can help.
For my "The Fall" dio, I used the latex in the second artilce as a mold. I made a master road about 4" wide with household putty and pebbles. Then molded it and cast about 7 copies.
You can use the same kind of technique for walls, rocks, and bases.
