    Plaster does warm up as it is drying but it should not burn.

    We were unable to view the image that you enclosed but here is some advice on making 3D Horns:

    1. you might want to purchase an oil based clay, carve out a negative shape of a horn into the clay and then pour in the plaster.

    2. Find a shape such as a plastic bottle or milk carton and pour the plaster in. Once dry remove the bottle. You can carve plaster with simple tools once it is dry. Hope this helps

  • I recently bought Plaster of Paris to make some 3D horns with it, but as I read the back I saw that it can cause burns and other things. Should I still use it (and how would I make the horns)?

    The horns look like this:

  • @MissZebraWolf Yes! You can make a 3D object with Plaster of Paris. In different altitudes you sometimes need different plaster to water ratios. We recommend pouring the water into the plaster until you reach a consistency of pancake batter. Tip: The best way to know if you have enough plaster to water ratio, is to sprinkle a little dry plaster on top of your mixture. If the plaster sits on top then you are good to pour. If it sinks in, you have too much water. Add more plaster.

  • Does this work for making molds out of 3D objects? I'm trying to make a paw pad mold for a mascot costume, and I messed up last week, because I put plaster TO the water and I noticed it was was not thickening. I'm just checking before I re-make the paw pads again.
