• Approximately how many rocks from a Rock Mold will 1/2 gallon of Hydrocal make?

  A 1/2 gallon carton of Lightweight Hydrocal® will yield approximately 14 medium-sized rocks.

  The actual number of rock castings will depend on which Rock Mold is used and how full it is filled. For example, Rock Mold Strata or Classic and a 1/2 gallon of Lightweight Hydrocal will yield 8-10 full-pour rocks.

  Hydrocal® is a U.S. Gypsum registered trademark.
  

• What is the best way to clean rock molds after use?

  An old toothbrush, warm soapy water and a bit of light scrubbing will take dried hydrocal right off.

• There is too much black wash on my rocks, can I lighten or remove the black wash and rock coloring?

  Yes, the black wash can be lightened, as long as it has not been sealed already with Scenic Cement. Flood-spray the casting with hot salt water (1 tsp in 6 fluid oz of hot water). Wait one minute, and spray again if needed. Dab with paper towels to remove the liquid. The base colors will remain on the rock, but the coloring will be much lighter.

   

  If you would like to start over completely, paint the casting with White Earth Colors Liquid Pigment. Dilute the White Pigment 1:1 with water.

   

  When satisfied with the coloring on your casting, spray with Scenic Cement to seal the colors and let dry.
