You will know when its dry. It just has that distinct feel to it.The package didn't say. A Google search gave me from 12 hours to 4 days before paining.
To those who have used it, how long would you say I should wait before painting? Thanks!
2 completely different products, but you could tint sculptamold. I've never known anyone to to do it or seen any video of someone doing it.IS there any reason a person couldn't mix some craft paint/blends in to a cup of the sculptamold before laying it in place? It's the recommendation for hydrocal and for plaster of Paris. If you inadvertently chip or gouge those substances, you're left with a white surface that stands out. Painted beforehand, a goud or chip will show the same terrain colour. I did this with the 'goop' using Joe Fugate's formula. It is on part Portland Cement, two parts plaster of Paris, three parts finely ground vermiculite. I figured I would add a couple pinches of masonry dye, 'mesa' and brown, the former the colour of yellowish depicted in the advert for ModelRailroadData.com that appears for me at the bottom of this screen...hopefully for you as well.
Isn't that what the old school model railroaders call "ground goop"?but you could tint sculptamold. I've never known anyone to to do it or seen any video of someone doing it.
That's something I don't ever remember seeing, reading about, or hearing about. I remember when colored sawdust (before ground foam) was mixed with white glue to form a "putty" base, but don't recall ground goop. I'm only 65, so it could have been before I got more serious than running a loop, with a few sidings.Isn't that what the old school model railroaders call "ground goop"?
They mix latex paint with sculptamold or cellu-clay, then spread it in the area. While it is wet, you sprinkle sand, dirt, etc... on it.
