Instructions

  1. Mix Plaster of Paris as directed. Use 8 cups of plaster mix to 4 cups of cold water.
  2. Carefully pour the plaster into the main cavity of both the BASETOP and BASEBOTTOM pieces
  3. Spread and pour plaster evenly, bringing the level to the top of the outer lip on each half of the base. Try not to get plaster on the flat surfaces level with the lip.
  4. Allow plaster to set.
  5. While plaster is set but still damp, scrape any excess plaster that accumulated on flat surfaces level with the lip. Chisel or sand down any plaster protruding above the level of the lip.
  6. Allow plaster to fully dry.
  7. Test fit BASETOP and BASEBOTTOM pieces together. Pegs from BASEBOTTOM should insert fully into BASETOP. BASETOP should sit evenly on top of BASEBOTTOM, and there should be no looseness or rocking between the pieces.
  8. Address any rocking by finding plaster protrusions and sanding them down until fit between BASEBOTTOM and BASETOP is flush and tight.
