Gypsum and plaster aren’t quite the same thing—and choosing the wrong white powder can mean weak castings, chipped edges or a mould that simply doesn’t work.

Our new maker’s guide explains:

• Gypsum vs. plaster
• Plaster of Paris vs. casting plaster
• Alpha vs. beta gypsum
• Why water ratio affects strength
• What to use for décor, pottery moulds, tooling and architectural work
• Common myths and important safety considerations

The strongest product isn’t always the right product. The right choice depends on what you’re making.

What are you casting—and what material are you using now?

Wood glue + Plaster of Paris: useful trick or internet myth? A little of both.

It may help a small indoor cast resist chips. But too much glue—or the wrong glue and plaster combination—can cause bubbles, soft spots and surprise set times.

Our new guide explains what can go wrong, why results vary and how to test the idea before risking a favourite mould or customer order.

Every extra hour spent removing antifouling paint eats into your margins. Traditional methods like sanding and blasting slow your team down, create cleanup issues, and increase overall job costs.

DeFOUL simplifies the process by softening coatings so they can be removed faster and more efficiently. That means less labor, fewer tools, and more jobs completed in less time.

If you want to improve productivity without compromising quality, this is the solution professionals are switching to.
