Hi All,

I would like to pose a question--can plaster hump molds be repaired? How
would you go about it? Can you just patch it with more plaster? Any
comments would be greatly appreciated!!!

If you clean the plaster very well, I seem to remember, that new plaster
will stick to dry plaster. Make sure there is no grease or oil on the old
plaster mold.

At a workshop in Santa Maria, CA, Bill Shinn said he mended cracked
bisqued molds with bondo. Sanded it off and it worked fine.
