Very good to know Bob. What do you think about the idea of using a super super thin plastic wastebasket liner instead of a painted on substance for a mold release? Do you think that it might perhaps leave too many wrinkles in the casted papercrete and therefore not a favorable approach?

The original object was a man made siding stone, as seen below. I used a mold release agent inside the papercrete mold. When I copied the original I used 10w30 motor oil on the original stone. I did several of them and only one came out, but I think the mold release agent would have worked better.

Hey Bob, that's really cool and you answered a question that I had
actually. I am pretty much set up for my first papercrete project with
respect to supplies. I'm planning to make a papercrete sculpture. Well, we
will see if this is where my idea eventually leads or not, but right now
that's my idea I'm hashing out. I figure if I put one of those super super
thin plastic wastebasket liners the kind that would be in offices, I could
use it to protect the object that I'd be making a mold of and thereby get
the maximum amount of detail in the relief. When cured, the mold should pop
right off.
So I'm curious about your project. What was the original object? A real
stone? And, did you put some kind of protectant on it so it would pop out
as well?
Bob
