Recycling plaster

[@rorycavanagh5475]

What a fantastic way to demonstrate the principles of what’s going on here. Great video!

[@beefknuckles]

Very neat visualization! I appreciate all the work that went into making this and I learned something new today.... thanks!

[@3-DMonkey]

as a sculptor and using plaster for a long time this just is mind blowing, thank you

[@sapphosplace]

Top tier visual aids. Thank you so much for the effort.

This is very informational thanks a lot, now I saved so much time experimenting.

Thank you very much for posting

Interesting. So is there any way to reuse for mold making for jewelry?

[@FknNefFy]

Thanks!

[@geocraftsman]

Well this is really wacky.

How many times we can recycle it ?

[@TECH097]

How about Hydrocal? Same principle?

[@stevenwhittaker2492]

Is it possible to cook the plaster for too long and it burn?
Also there might be some leftover superglue in the mix of waster plaster. Will this be a problem?

[@theshuman100]

If im not mistaken there is such a thing as dead lime which happens if you burn it too hot

[@3-DMonkey]

@@theshuman100 thanks for the info

If you stay at the temperatures in this video, you cannot cook for too long. If you go too high above this temperature then you can dehydrate the plaster too far which makes it react too much with water, and this will affect how it sets negatively. If you cook at an even hotter temperature (say, much above 450F) then you will alter the crystal structure and it may no longer set at all.

How many times could plaster be reused??

[@dirtiestharry6551]

A lot. I do it for a hobby so I'm no expert, but I kept recycling my plaster molds for past years. Some of them must have been recycled up to 5 times

What if I have not a Microwave?

[@Hoptronics]

It's an oven 170c/338f for 3hrs

[@SetTheCurve]

Just for clarity, that was not a microwave in this video.
