A form release agent. Murphy's soap mixed with water is commonly used. This will help keep the container you pour the plaster in clean and also to help release the plaster from the model.
PVA glue – I use plain old Elmer's school glue. Plastic syringes or a spray bottle – Syringes work best. Construction adhesive – My favorite brand is Loctite Power Grab. The formula works for many applications, including plaster.
Apply each layer of plaster 15-30 minutes after the previous layer. If there is not enough time to finish the project in one day, it is important to apply a thin layer of water over the plaster before applying the next layer. If a new layer is applied to plaster that is already fully dry, it will not bond.
When plastering over an already plastered wall, you first need to consider the length of time the old plaster has been there for. The longer the plaster has been there, the more porous the material will be. The older and drier the plaster, the more moisture it will suck from the plaster you apply to it.
If you'd like to try yourself, follow these steps: Use a chisel or knife to carefully remove any debris or lumps of plaster from the deep crack. Fill with newspaper before applying plaster of Paris to add extra stability to the crack. Apply a layer of plaster over the newspaper covering the crack.
USG Plaster Bonder: Pink is a vinyl acetate homopolymer emulsion used to bond new plaster to any structurally sound interior surface.
But glue also adheres to materials such as wood and plaster, which has the advantage that you do not need to drill the skirting board or wall, or plaster over nail heads.
If you are pouring a very large mold, or for some reason didn't mix enough plaster in the first batch, immediately start mixing the second batch. When it is ready you can pour it over the existing plaster.
To release the resin from its mold, use Vaseline. Apply it over the mold before adding the epoxy resin. This mold release for epoxy prevents the resin from sticking to the mold. However, remember that it is not very good material.

Rub oil or lotion over the plaster and then apply some of the same substance to a cotton wool bud. As you slowly lift the corners of the plaster, continue to rub the oil or lotion on the skin underneath to loosen the adhesive. Any lotion or oil, such as baby oil or even olive oil, will work.
If the plaster is bone-dry I've had luck with hot glue for rapid building. For fresher plaster and when dry times aren't as important PVA glue works very well. More plaster or sculptamold also works really well for gluing down plaster.
This is commonly caused by poor or non-contact of surfaces being adhered. Try adjusting the pressure to keep glued surfaces together while hot melt cools.
PVA is what helps the plaster stick to the wall. Only when the PVA is tacky – not completely dry – should the plaster be put on the wall.
Browning plaster
It's very similar to bonding plaster, but more absorbent, and thus most useful with more absorbent surfaces. They are used by professional plasterers as an undercoat for paint and adornments. It's a versatile base for painting, good mouldings and decorations.
