Are there any alternatives to the use of Hydrocal for scenery work?
I use Durabond drywall compound. The Durabond 45 has a 45 minute working time and the Durabond 90 has a 90 minute working time. Great for when you want to have that extra time to work with it for while. Regular plasters set up way too fast.

Sure, there are a lot of materials, other than Hydracal. Personally, I use a mix, approx. 4-1, Structolite, (a scratch coal plasterers use) and Sculptamold for everything except rock molds. DJ.
