I found a very useful tip for using Sculptamold from a Disney builder on Youtube and thought it worth sharing. I use this technique all the time now. I don't know if it's common knowledge, but I've only seen it mentioned once....
The tip is to use a large ziplock bag to mix your Sculptamold. Pour in the dry material, and add your water, and start mixing by squeezing the bag. It's a very clean and efficient way to mix, and when you're ready, you can seal the bag, cut off one of the bottom corners, and squeeze it like a frosting bag to put the Sculptamold exactly where you need it.
This is a great, precise technique to get the material in place quickly so you can start sculpting it, and it makes it easier to build up things like rock towers and other large features. Cleanup is a breeze and you can also feel the consistency of the material change in your hands as you squeeze the bag, so you know exactly how it's setting up and how much working time you have left.
 
Thanks. I’ve storage Mixed Sculptamold but never thought of mixing it in one. Also the frosting bag squeeze method is smart. Hope I remember this come Spring when 2 friends layout work sessions become scenery sessions.
