Question:I'm making something like the walk of fame in hollywood, so I need to make my hands implanted in some sort of clay.

I tried plaster of paris, but it dried to quickly so i couldnt press my hands into it. How do you use plaster of paris so you can do that?

What is the best thing to use for making handprints?
PS. it would be better if it dries hard.

thanks! =]

Use plaster of paris, don't get the quick rying kind. Pour some of the powder into a plastic dish, add the water and put your hand in! leave i overnight to dry, then take it out the container!

Yeah, Plaster of paris, don't buy one that says quick drying, so then you will be able to put your hand in quick and still not have it dry out
