3. Pre-dissolve the gypsum powder in the instructions. Ready form for print position in the workplace. Cover it gently with gauze or bandage, and fill the shape of the plaster ground.
   
   
   If it's hands or other body parts — they should stay without movement until fully cured gypsum material.
4. After hardening of the plaster bandages neatly release the form. If it's hand — draw each separately to not disturb the shape of the print.
   
   
   
5. At this stage, the impression of the plaster bandages remains hollow and, therefore, spill all the remaining ground and leave until fully cured sculpture.
