[simpits-chat] Hey Roy!

[Rob Hommel]

If you are using plaster of paris don't forget to use a slip coating to
allow the piece to be removed with some ease. There are a lot of problems
when using plaster if you are unfamiliar with using it. Be careful that you
don't loose your original in a plaster rock.

Keep 'em Flying
