First prepare mold- stick cardbord circel to glove - help fill the mold (pic. 1)

Mix gypsum: pour clean water (volume adjust to the amount of gypsum).

I use a drill with a mixer (pic. 2).

Mold fix (!fingers down!) and fill (pic. 3,4)

VERY IMPORTANT: DRY GYPSUM BY A MINIMUM 2 DAYS AT. 20 DEGREES CELSIUS (ABOUT 68 FAHRENHEIT)

Then using a knife, very carrefully,remove the glove (my mold).

Correct any inaccuracies.

Cover entire surface of teh primer.

After the primer has dried paint it.

I used spray paint - granit or marble structure for a super look.

Paint search in the web, in the shops hard to reach.
