FAQ:

Mask Making: You can make approximately 60 full faced children’s masks from a 10kg bag of Modroc.

Drying Time: Drying time will vary depending on room temperature and how many layers of ArtRock have been used. It will take approximately 6 – 8 hours for three layers of ArtRock to dry in a moderate room temperature of around 20°C.

Reworking a Form: Although ArtRock can be softened with water after it has dried, it is not recommended and can damage the plasters ability to harden again. It is possible however to apply wet ArtRock over dry allowing a project to be worked on indefinitely.

Mask Making: Use Modroc over a plastic mask mould to create a mask. Apply four layers of Modroc.
