Hi there. My question is two fold really. I have a plaster sculpture that I want to pour resin over (like a paint pour).
1. Is there any issue with pouring over plaster of Paris provided it’s dry? Should it be sealed?
2. How can u stop the resin just running off and pooling at the bottom of the sculpture? I thought about doing it vertically and inverting it every few mins but then I will have to attach something to the top or bottom which will leave a bald patch.

Any thoughts or experiences of doing anything similar? Thank you

HI Kate,

I haven’t used resin over plaster of paris so I don’t know how it would work. If getting the plaster wet will change the appearance, then yes, you will need to seal it before applying resin.

As for keeping it from pooling, rotating the sculpture is the best way. Either constantly rotating in a horizontal line or flip vertically while curing.

Good luck!
