Suffering Bastard - I believe the Plaster mold works because it is h2o soluable.. the slip you pour into the mold is basically liquid clay. The plaster absorbs the excess h2o which helps the clay firm up. I tried a plastic mold one time with a cement type mix and it did not work as well as I thought.. there was no where for the h2o to go. Something other than plaster that would be h2o soluable seems the way to go...but what? Hmmmm
