IGC provides and recommends the following information to achieve the maximum desired properties.

Mix Carefully:

  1. Use a clean bowl
  2. Use the proper ratio of water to powder. Measure room temperature water into mixing bowl.
  3. Sprinkle powder into liquid and allow to soak for 30 seconds.
  4. Using a clean spatula, spatulate at a rate of 120 rpm for 60 seconds until a smooth and uniform mix is achieved. *Mechanical Mix; soak for 30 seconds and mix for 30 seconds.
  5. Place a small amount of mixed material in one corner of mold and place on vibrator. Tip the mold so that material flows into the recesses. Continue to add stone in small increments until the entire mold is filled.

Storage:

  • Gypsum materials may break down when exposed to high humidity.
  • Store gypsum in dry place or air-tight container.

Set-Time:

  • Using cold water will slow down the set-time. Hot water will accelerate the mix. Always use room temperature water for best results.
  • Time and speed of spatulation will also effect set-time of gypsum. Rapid spatulation will produce a stronger gypsum, but may also accelerate the set-time.
  • Using more water than the recommended amount will produce a gypsum that has lower compression (crushing) strength as well as slow down the set-time.
