Hirst Arts

I stumbled upon Hirst Arts a few years ago. It is a great site to visit and a great product to own. I remember that Bruce Hirst gave me a call after I ordered the smooth pyramid to ask me if it was really what I wanted or was it the sandblasted pyramid. He was correct. I wanted the sandblasted pyramid. Now that is customer service!

I have had other mold purchased recently and they are great too. I am using them to support my units on Ancient Rome and Medieval Europe. The only limit that I have found is the type of material you cast with. We started out with plaster of paris. It pays to get material that is harder than that when dry. We are using Densite at the moment and it is a little better. I want to get the dental plaster but I think that we need to work on our mixing and pouring technique first. Attempting to get all of the air bubbles out is difficult. I will have to build one of the vibrating pour boards that Mr. Hirst built.
