<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Does anyone have (successful) experience of taking
plaster casts of bell inscriptions. I have been having a few attempts but
wondered if anyone had hints and tips for success. I have been using
a version of Plasticine and a Plaster of Paris modeling plaster. Two
problems seem to occur - the first is me not pressing the Plasticine well enough
onto the inscription and that is easily rectified - push a bit more! The
second is getting air bubbles in the plaster. I have tried dibbling around
with a small paintbrush as I pour the plaster but I still get little
bubbles on the inscription which spoil the finished
result.</FONT></DIV>
