Molds are too flimsy
I like the large size of the molds. However, they are too flimsy and have a tendency to tilt to one side when all five molds are filled with the plaster of paris. This causes some of the material to flow down the tilted mold and giving poor results (uneven, inconsistent casts).

Fossil Molds
Size of the molds was perfect for the class. However, the molds have a tendency to tilt, ot slant, when all of the molds are filled. This causes the plaster to flow out of several of the molds causing uneven molds. [Editor: This has been our experience too. It seems the best results can be had if you use just one or two molds on the sheet at a time.]
