Pouring the Plaster of Paris pieces

The trim pieces are made of Plaster of Paris. Since the mold is flexible it can be used to pour several pieces.

Curved pieces were made by inserting plastic into styrofoam to obtain the desired shape.


We also used a variable speed massager to help the Plaster of Paris flow and to remove bubbles. The mold was placed on the massager and held in place while the Plaster of Paris was being poured into the mold.

Once hardened, the pieces were ready to be trimmed.
