Tip:

K-Y Jelly works well as it's water based.Unless you're using plaster(which can be primed to water-resist)this stuff is great.Wash the molded part off with soap and water,dry and paint. The counterpeople look at you kind of funny some times, ''Yeah,I know what you're gonna do with that....'' If they only knew,huh?
