Summary: Making a cement fish fossil sculpture, steps 4-6
Step 4. I measured the tray (11x14) and cut the wire
mesh to be one inch smaller (10x13). This will be used for
reinforcing later... [sketch]
Step 5. Time to mix up the cement! I used 8 cups Winterstone
powder, plus 2 cups water. I had to add more water to make
it knead like real putty / clay. Not much extra water though
(too much water weakens the final result). (NOTE: I should
have made MORE than 8 cups!!)
Step 6. I used squares of Saran Wrap (cellophane)
to protect the "U" of the hanging loops, then added a gob
of Winterstone to weigh each hanger down against the tray
surface.
