I love pariscraft. You need about three layers to cover the mold. Cut it into small strips before you begin. It hardens very quickly so you need to work fairly fast. It can be lightly sanded to prep for painting. Sometimes we put a coat of gesso over it.
Have fun.

I have discovered a box of PlasterCraft in my store
room, and I am having fun playing with it. Does it
just take one layer to cover a plastic mask mold?
What other lessons have others done with it? What are
the pros and cons between it and regular paper mache?
Thanks!
