I. How to cast figures in moulds.
Take one pound of Paris plaister, and an equal quantity of
bricks, pounded into an impalpable powder; join to this an ounce of alumen
plumeum, and one of ammoniac salt. Dilute all together, gradually, in
clear water, without observing it, as you are to make a paste of it; and make
your moulds with it.
