How to use
Measure the plaster powder and water according to the instructions supplied, then mix until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved. Pour the plaster carefully into the silicone dinosaur molds and tap gently to release trapped air. Allow the plaster to set completely before demoulding; drying times vary with temperature and thickness. Once dry, sand any rough edges if needed, then apply the included paints and brush to decorate the dinosaurs. Clean tools and work surfaces immediately after use.
Usage recommendations
Use on a protected work surface and wear an apron or old clothing. Always supervise children during measuring, mixing and painting. Ensure good ventilation during use and wash hands after handling plaster. Store unused materials in a dry place and follow any safety instructions on the packaging.
