"I live by this stuff!"
kung_fu_lizard
because I currently live in a rented home, I know the day will eventually come that I will want to buy a place and move so my platform from start to (someday) finish :) has to be easily disassembled and relatively light weight to move around. I started my entire platform with foam to get my general shape and structure, and then I use the lightweight hydrocal to create all my rock molds and cliffs, etc for my scenery. It is lightweight indeed. It's also very easy to work with and dries fast (I can fill a mold and come back an hour later to remove it but I put it somewhere to finish curing over night before painting it so it is thoroughly dry). It is especially handy when you use the plaster cloth to cover your foam first, then attached your castings to a layer of plaster. If you use the plaster cloth to fill gaps around castings it's easy to notice when you've finished and it's dry that there might be a spot or two that you can see the cloth fibers; just mix a little hydrocal and put it over those little spots and done. You can also use the scenic glue that woodland scenics has, but most of the time I'll use the hydrocal because it works just as good as an adhesive when you wet the back of a casting and the place on your layout that you're trying to adhere to. While they don't break easily, it's easy enough that you can break off pieces of your castings if you only need a small piece or a small rock. It sets up fast so be careful how much you mix at once time (it only has like a 5 minute working time before it starts to set up). This is a great product, I use it all the time!

"Very handy stuff for making rocks and bricks"
Steve K (Ohio)
Lightweight Hydrocal plaster is great stuff for molding your own rocks and brick walls saving a lot of time and money while making custom pieces. Very easy to mix and pour. Gives off a little heat while curing. I carve or sand mine if needed before it is fully cured. Easy to attach to existing terrain with a hot glue gun. But I have found through experience that you will need to seal the back of the rock sections with something like an acrylic glue, white glue of Mod Podge so that you seal the surface and the hot glue holds.

 
"Awsome"
iaiaccept
Awsome great asset to my War on Terror diorama. 8'x8' description of activity in Iraq, Afghanistan war zone with US Military Bases and Air Strips.

 
"Great for Multiple uses"
Carlin
Great product, can be used for sculpting roads, inclines and banks, rock molds, and if you add small (Real World) Rocks and put it in a square mold you can make a great retaining Wall. only con is it sets up a little fast but other then that a great product
