What latex do I need? #70, #72 or #74?

Question:
Dear aldaxmoulds, I'm not sure which latex I need, what I want to do is make moulds of timber mouldings (like you see on old singer sewing machine drawers) and recreate them in plaster.


Answer:
Hi, You could use #72 Latex for the whole job. Where we wish to pick up fine detail we use #70 for the first 5 coats and then finish with #72. #74 can be used when there are large vertical surfaces on your model. All the best Stan
